Eyvind Earle envisions Sleeping Beauty's fairy tale castle in a marvelous panorama concept painting

(Walt Disney Studios, 1959) Magnificent original panorama concept painting by Eyvind Earle for Sleeping Beauty, fabulously depicting the film’s iconic castle from the distant countryside. Perched atop a cliffside peak, the castle combines with the surrounding town and farmland to form an engrossing fairy tale vista. Earle beautifully captures the immense white castle and its flag-tipped towers against a turquoise sky. Brilliantly accomplished in gouache on 20.75 x 9.25 artist's board, signed in the lower right corner in pink paint "Eyvind Earle." In fine condition, with tack holes to corners. A stunning portrayal of the Sleeping Beauty castle, interpreted by Earle with his trademark square trees and excellent use of space and color.

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.
