EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to ancient Greece. Created by Will H. Low, this artwork captures the essence of chariot racing, a popular sport in that era. The image showcases a skilled charioteer guiding his powerful horses with precision and determination. The artist's use of gouache adds depth and texture to the illustration, while touches of brown and black create an intriguing contrast against the cream wood pulp laminate board. This piece not only pays homage to ancient Greek culture but also reflects on its influence on American art during the 19th century. As we gaze upon this historic scene, we are reminded of John Keats' poem "Lamia" which explores themes of envy and desire. The figure depicted here embodies both strength and ambition as he races ahead, determined to be at the forefront of this envious competition. This print is part of an exhibition at the Art Institute Chicago, showcasing prints and drawings from various artists throughout history. It serves as a testament to our rich cultural heritage and invites viewers to immerse themselves in centuries-old traditions. With its timeless appeal and meticulous attention to detail, "Foremost in the Envious Race" offers viewers a glimpse into ancient Greece's vibrant past while celebrating artistic excellence from one generation to another.
