(Walt Disney Studios, 1959) Masterful original panoramic concept painting by Eyvind Earle for Sleeping Beauty, wonderfully depicting the film’s iconic castle from a distant cliffside viewpoint. The shadowed, fern-laden foreground opens up to a stunning fairytale vista, with a village clustered within trees and green-topped tableland to the left, and the right featuring the iconic castle perched high upon a hillside. Brilliantly accomplished in gouache on 21 x 9.5 artist's board, and signed in the lower right corner in silver ink by Eyvind Earle. In fine condition, with tack holes to corners, the upper right bearing slight wear.
Legendary Disney artist Eyvind Earle was Sleeping Beauty's production designer, and Disney gave him a significant amount of freedom in designing the settings and selecting colors for the film. Earle also painted the majority of the backgrounds himself, and his stylistic influence is readily apparent in the final product.
