EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the epic battle between Bellerophon and the fearsome Chimaera, immortalized in an exquisite engraving by Bernard Picart in 1731. The image captures a pivotal moment as Bellerophon, adorned in gleaming armor and wielding his mighty sword, confronts this mythical creature head-on. The scene is filled with intensity and drama as the hero's steed, Pegasus, swoops down from above to aid him in this perilous task. With its majestic wings spread wide and its muscular body poised for action, Pegasus adds an element of awe-inspiring power to the composition. The Chimaera itself is a mesmerizing sight - a classical hybrid of various animals including a lion's head with fiery breath and a serpent's tail. Its menacing presence is palpable as it coils around itself ready to strike at any moment. This engraving beautifully captures the clash between good and evil, showcasing both bravery and strength on one side while highlighting the monstrous nature of the Chimaera on the other. It serves as a reminder that even in mythological tales, heroes must face daunting challenges to overcome adversity. With intricate details meticulously etched into every line, this print transports viewers back to ancient times where legends were born. It invites us to immerse ourselves in this fantastical world where heroes rise up against unimaginable odds - reminding us that courage knows no bounds when faced with conflict or confrontation.
