EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph titled "When the dragon caught sight of Cadmus, he set up another abominable hiss" artist Frederick Richardson brings to life a thrilling moment from Greek mythology. The scene depicts the intense encounter between Cadmus and a fearsome dragon, as described in Nathaniel Hawthorne's A Wonder Book and Tanglewood Tales. The image transports us back to ancient Greece, where the brave hero Cadmus faces off against the monstrous creature. With its menacing gaze fixed upon him, the dragon unleashes a terrifying hiss that echoes through the air. Richardson skillfully captures both the intensity of their confrontation and the mythical atmosphere surrounding them. This print showcases Richardson's mastery in illustrating classical legends and myths. Through intricate details and dynamic composition, he invites viewers into an enchanting world filled with heroes, monsters, and epic battles. The artwork not only pays homage to Greek mythology but also serves as a visual representation of Hawthorne's timeless storytelling. As we admire this lithograph from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of how art can transport us across time and space. It allows us to witness extraordinary moments like this one – when bravery clashes with danger – leaving an indelible impression on our imagination.
