EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic "Trojan Horse" painting, created in 1874 by French artist Henri Paul. Housed in a private collection, this masterpiece delves into the realm of Greek mythology and history with its intricate details and allegorical significance. Depicting a pivotal moment from Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey, the Trojan Horse serves as a symbol of deceit and cunning strategy employed by Odysseus during the infamous Trojan War. As legend has it, after ten years of unsuccessful siege on Troy, Odysseus devised a plan to infiltrate the city walls. He constructed an enormous wooden horse that concealed Greek soldiers within its hollow belly. Presenting it as an offering to the Trojans, they unknowingly welcomed their enemies inside their impenetrable fortress. Paul's oil on canvas composition captures this climactic scene with remarkable skill and precision. The attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from the expressions on both Trojan and Greek faces to the architectural grandeur of ancient Troy itself. The painting not only pays homage to classical literature but also serves as a historical reminder of one of humanity's most enduring conflicts. Through his artistry, Paul immortalizes Odysseus' ingenuity while cautioning viewers against misplaced trust - encapsulated perfectly by Virgil's famous phrase: "Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes" (Beware Greeks bearing gifts). As we gaze upon this fine art image today, we are transported back in time to
