FANTASIA (1940) - Original Concept Artwork of Centaurettes Bathing Scene from The "Pastoral Symphony" - This original concept artwork from Walt Disney's Fantasia captures one of the film's most ethereal and visually poetic sequences, the centaurettes (or fauns) bathing in the enchanted glen, part of the "Pastoral Symphony" segment inspired by Beethoven's music.Fantasia was an audacious experiment combining high art, classical music, and cutting-edge animation. It redefined what animation could be and became a critical milestone in Disney's artistic legacy. Artwork from this film is exceedingly scarce, particularly finished large-scale concepts like this, as much was lost or discarded after production.The imagery is likely attributed to one of the legendary Disney studio artists of the era, possibly James Bodrero or Martin Provensen, who both worked extensively on the film's development team. Bodrero, in particular, was known for his classical training and brought a European fine art sensibility to the animation process, especially visible in the mythological settings of Fantasia. His pastel and gouache works set the tone for the elegant, dreamlike quality of the "Pastoral Symphony."What makes this piece especially significant is the sheer beauty and size of the composition, designed as part of the film's early visual development. Large-scale concept works like this were crucial to the Disney production process, guiding colour palettes, lighting, and mood before a single cel was painted.Rendered in soft pastels, this artwork radiates the delicate atmosphere, grace, and light that made Fantasia a landmark in the history of animation. The pastel medium was a favourite of the Disney concept artists to create atmospheric depth and emotion. This piece comes with visible pinholes, a telling mark of its original use on studio boards where Walt Disney and his team would have reviewed it. The artwork features the iconic Walt Disney Productions stamp in the bottom right corner, and a filing stamp on the reverse, signed and dated, confirming its place in the production process. Two corners of the paper have degraded, but the lot remains in excellent condition considering its age.
