EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Invocation. The anger of Apollo" captures a pivotal moment from Homer's epic poem, "The Iliad". Illustrated by Clement Gontier in 1930, this artwork depicts Priest Chryses invoking the mighty god Apollo with fervent emotion. In the image, Chryses pleads for divine intervention against the Greeks who have caused him immense sorrow. With arms outstretched and eyes filled with tears, Chryses implores Apollo to cast away the Greek warriors using his lethal arrows. The artist masterfully portrays the intensity of this invocation through intricate details such as Apollo's bow and arrow poised for action. This illustration not only showcases Gontier's artistic prowess but also encapsulates the essence of Greek mythology and its rich storytelling tradition. It serves as a visual reminder of the power that gods held over mortal lives during ancient times. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to an era where legends were born and emotions ran deep. Through Chryses' plea to Apollo, we witness a potent mix of anger, desperation, and hope intertwined within one man's heartfelt invocation. Stefano Bianchetti skillfully captures this timeless piece in all its glory while preserving its historical significance. This artwork is more than just an engraving; it is a window into a world long gone yet forever imprinted on our collective consciousness.
