EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a mesmerizing moment from the ancient Irish legend of the Children of Lir. In this enchanting illustration by Stephen Reid, we are transported to Loch Derryvaragh where Bov the Red, King of the De Danaan people, visits its shores. The vibrant colors bring life to this mythical scene as women dressed in traditional attire sit and stand under a majestic tree. The focal point of this artwork is undoubtedly the graceful swans that surround these women. According to myth, these magical creatures possess not only beauty but also an ethereal ability to sing and converse with humans. As they serenade their human companions, it's hard not to be captivated by their harmonious melodies. This image evokes a sense of tranquility and wonder as nature intertwines with mythology. The lake glistens in harmony with the lush greenery surrounding it, creating a picturesque backdrop for this extraordinary encounter between man and bird. Stephen Reid's skillful brushstrokes beautifully capture both the mystical atmosphere and intricate details found within Irish folklore. This print serves as a visual reminder of Ireland's rich cultural heritage and invites us into a world where legends come alive through art.
