Muut tiedot
Björn Fredlund writes about the fairy tale series in the book on Arosenius: "In 1905, he had painted his first fairy tale series, 'The Tale of the Six Princesses' [...]. In 1906, he began 'A Tale of Antichrist', which, however, was not completed. The following year, he created 'A Love Tale in Six Pictures', which tells of a knight who arrives at a castle where he indulges in love with six maidens. The setting seems to be an Eastern harem, but the knight is Western - perhaps he is a crusader. When he, exhausted, leaves the castle on his steed, all the maidens are in happy circumstances. In Arosenius's series, the knight's traditional, chivalric role, which used to express itself in his faithful devotion to the one woman, has been transformed into its opposite."
