EDITORS COMMENTS
Perseus and the Artist: A Unique Encounter of Mythology and Modernity, Circa 1901 This illustration, believed to be from the album "Les Maîtres de la Caricature" by Lucien Métivet, published in the September 16, 1901 issue of L'Illustration, depicts an intriguing encounter between the legendary hero Perseus and a female painter. Perseus, identified by the iconic image of Pegasus on his helmet, stands tall and confident, observing intently as a young woman, adorned with a theatrical mask strapped to her head, carries a green book under her arm. The artist, a woman with a pipe in hand, seems to be deep in thought as she studies her subject. The serene expression on Perseus' face and the focused gaze of the painter create an atmosphere of artistic inspiration and intellectual curiosity. The young lady, with her book and mask, may represent the muses or the embodiment of artistic creativity. This illustration, a beautiful blend of mythology and modernity, showcases the artistic prowess of Lucien Métivet and the fascination with classical mythology during the early 20th century. The image invites us to ponder the role of art and creativity in our lives and the enduring influence of mythology on our collective imagination.
