EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph by Howard Davie depicts a pivotal moment from the Greek myth of Perseus and his mother. In this scene, Perseus skillfully draws his mother and their newborn baby to safety on a precarious ledge of rock. The vibrant colors bring life to the ancient tale, as we witness the hero's determination and resourcefulness. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, capturing the tension and vulnerability of this extraordinary situation. With great care, Davie portrays the tender bond between mother and child as they cling together amidst the rugged terrain. This illustration originates from Charles Kingsley's book "The Heroes or Greek Fairy Tales" published around 1910. It serves as a visual representation of an enchanting story that has captivated audiences for centuries. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to ancient Greece, where myths were born and heroes emerged. The image evokes feelings of awe and wonder at both the power of nature and human resilience. Davie's lithograph reminds us that even in times of adversity, love can be our greatest strength. It is a testament to the enduring power of mythology and its ability to inspire us through art across generations.
