Following the sudden spin-up and increase in the X-ray flux of the anomalous X-ray pulsar 1E 1048.1-5937 at the end of March (Dib et al. 2007; ATEL #1041) and the subsequent brightening of the near-IR counterpart by ~1.5 magnitude in the Ks band (Wang et al. 2007; ATEL #1044), we report a similar brightening at optical wavelengths. We were awarded a DDT optical imaging observation from European Southern Observatory (ESO), and observed the field of 1E 1048.1-5937 on 2007 May 8, UT 00:01, at I band, using the optical camera FORS2 on the Very Large Telescope.
