Leonor Fini
Oil Paintings
1931 - 1987


Le Corbeau (The Raven), oil on paper on canvas,
13.5” x 10.25” was an illustration for Edgar Allan Poe,
Leonor’s third time illustrating Poe’s texts.

The first time was Contes Mysterieux et fantastiques
(Tales of Mystery and Imagination) in 1952. She then
did the six volume Oeuvres Imaginatives poetiques
completes de Edgar Allan Poe (The Complete Works
of Edgar Allan Poe) in 1966.

The 1987 three volume book was to contain Fini’s final illustrations for a literary work.

Written 25 years before Bram Stoker’s Dracula,
Carmilla is the first known Vampire novel. Marcalla
Von Karnstein is a central character in Joseph-
Sheridan LeFanu’s gothic tale.

A painting within a painting, it stands as an anomaly.
Carmilla was Fini’s only published English language
livre d’artiste (artist’s book). A series of eight oil on
paper on canvas paintings, 18” x 15”, were used as the
basis for the book’s silk-screen illustrations.
