The Adventures of Pinocchio-Roberto Innocenti

While studying abroad in Germany, I found this postcard at a local art museum and have been carrying it around since.  It always seemed like such a beautifully sad illustration; there's was immense desperation and hopelessness conveyed in the picture but done in this poignant way that resonated with my heart at the time; and I simply loved the colors.  By Italian artist Roberto Innocenti, who still lives in Florence with his wife, you can see more of The Adventures of Pinocchio at:  Cizgili Masallar: Children's Book Illustration Blog.
