1569 – Rapunzel, Rapunzel!

Besides its breath-taking appeal, this staggering piece seems to defy the laws of physics! The two round tiers that form the ground support for the tower are beautifully reminiscent of a woodland glen. Stunning super-sized flowers in many "fairyland" hues abound and are complemented by smaller blooms such as the delicate "Lily of the Valley", and tiny roses and pansies. The tower rising from this glen is constructed of "rocks", and sweeps upward to support the cottage where Rapunzel is trapped. Versions of the Rapunzel story date back to the 10th century, A.D. Most versions have Rapunzel trapped in this cottage in the air, by an enchantress, and she customarily calls "Rapunzel, Rapunzel!" when she wants the fair maiden to let down her hair so that the enchantress (posing as her mother) may use it to climb up the tower. Having the gift of a beautiful voice, she is overheard singing one day by a passing prince. Love ensues, and after much trouble, conquers all. Out of this tower, we see her silken fair hair cascading down the tower, adorned with satin ribbons tied in bows. The cottage appears to be comfortable, if socially limiting to a young girl. For a little girl, or simply a lover of fairy tales, this charming work is sure to please!
