Erlking and a boy

Description

Reproduction or republication of my works and corresponding acts are STRICTLY PROHIBITED.

This work is complete version of henri-francois.deviantart.com/…

This work is inspired by "Der Erlkönig" which is created by Franz Peter Schubert and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

Somewhere in Austria, Erlking fell in love with a boy.
But the boy is 18 years old and his mother is Hungarian, so he looks so younger (and it is his hang-up).
"I am not a child!" he said, but Erlking said the boy "You are so beautiful..."

Der Erlkonig. Never thought of him as a pedaphile...

I interpreted him as "Death," and the Goethe poem describing visions experienced by a young fever-wracked boy, and his father trying in vain to bring him back to "the real world" from those visions. And, not following Death into oblivion.

This is a late comment in response to your link. I had forgotten you had written this journal, and posted this artwork. Thanks for sending me here. I found another artwork to fave. :D
