EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Illustration for The Wanderings of Ulysses" takes us on a mythological journey through the ancient world. Created by E. J. Kedwards in the early 20th century, this print showcases Proteus, a mythical figure from Greek mythology, as he encounters a group of seals in a mesmerizing seascape. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this moment, depicting Proteus surrounded by several majestic sea lions. With his muscular physique and semi-nude form, Proteus exudes strength and masculinity while maintaining an air of vulnerability amidst the wildness of nature. As we delve into this scene inspired by G. B. Harrison's book "The Wanderings of Ulysses" we are transported to a time when pagan beliefs and polytheism were prevalent. This illustration serves as a reminder of humanity's deep connection to nature and its reverence for divine beings. Through intricate details and precise lines characteristic of lithography, Kedwards brings life to these mythological characters and their surroundings. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the composition, enhancing our visual experience. This remarkable artwork is part of a private collection but has been made accessible through Fine Art Finder's collaboration with Bridgeman Images. It invites us to explore our fascination with ancient myths while appreciating the artistic mastery behind this early 20th-century lithograph.
