EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant colour lithograph depicts the epic battle between Theseus, the legendary Greek hero, and the Persians. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a pivotal moment from Charles Kingsley's book 'The Heroes'. The scene is filled with intense action as Theseus valiantly fights against his formidable adversaries. In this image, we witness Theseus wielding his axe with great strength and determination. The fairy-like creatures surrounding him add an element of enchantment to the story, highlighting the mythical nature of this heroic tale. The clash between these mythological figures symbolizes not only physical warfare but also represents a clash of cultures and ideologies. The horses depicted in this artwork are majestic and powerful, adding to the sense of grandeur and intensity within the scene. From racehorses to shire horses, they represent different aspects of animal strength that have been harnessed for battle throughout history. This print serves as a reminder of ancient stories passed down through generations - tales that continue to captivate children and adults alike. It showcases heroism in its purest form while exploring themes such as bravery, conflict, and mythology. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this piece from their private collection, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic merit and historical significance.
