EDITORS COMMENTS
This painting depicts the Greek goddess Iris and the god Hermes in a stunning representation from circa 1915. Iris, the goddess of the rainbow and messenger of the gods, is beautifully portrayed with her symbolic jug of water. The jug, often depicted as having a golden or iridescent hue, represents the rainbow bridge connecting the heavens and the earth. Iris's flowing robes and wings are a testament to her swift and graceful nature, making her an ideal messenger for the gods and goddesses of Olympus. Beside Iris stands Hermes, the god of commerce, travelers, thieves, and messenger of the gods. His iconic flaming red hair and dagger are prominently displayed, emphasizing his agility, cunning, and ability to move swiftly between the mortal and divine realms. The god of thieves, Hermes is also the protector of shepherds and merchants, ensuring safe travels for those who sought his favor. This exquisite painting, with its rich color palette and intricate details, is a testament to the artistic mastery of the time. The work appears in the April volume of a magazine from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, adding to its historical significance. The painting's captivating portrayal of these two mythological figures not only showcases the beauty of Greek mythology but also provides a glimpse into the artistic styles and trends of the early 20th century.
