EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print titled "Athene, 1929" by Newell Convers Wyeth takes us back to the ancient world of Greek mythology. The artwork, part of a private collection, was published in George Herbert Palmer's edition of The Odyssey of Homer in 1929. In this image, we see Athene, the goddess of wisdom and warfare, depicted with strength and grace. She wears a legendary helmet adorned with intricate details and holds a spear firmly in her hand. Her piercing gaze exudes power and intelligence as she stands ready for battle. The lithograph's vibrant colors bring life to this mythological scene, highlighting the heroism that lies within Athene's character. As one of the central figures in Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey, she plays a crucial role in guiding Odysseus on his journey home from the Trojan War. This artwork not only captures the essence of Greek mythology but also showcases Wyeth's skillful use of lithography. Through meticulous engraving techniques and attention to detail, he brings forth an illustration that immerses viewers into this timeless tale. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of the enduring impact that ancient myths have had on literature and art throughout history.
