On This Side of Jove's Clouds, 1885
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to ancient Greece. Created by the talented artist Will H. Low, this exquisite piece showcases his mastery in capturing the essence of both art and literature. The scene depicted in this print draws inspiration from John Keats' famous poem "Lamia" where mythology intertwines with human emotions. The central figure, Hermes, stands tall in his majestic armor, representing power and divine authority. His helmet gleams under the light as he gazes into the distance beyond the clouds. Low's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of gouache on cream wood pulp laminate board. The monochromatic palette adds depth and intensity to the artwork, emphasizing its timeless quality. Through this medium, we are transported to a different era—a time when gods walked among mortals. This antique print captures not only an artistic masterpiece but also serves as a window into history and culture. It invites us to explore ancient Greek mythology while contemplating themes of gender roles, deity depiction, and literary influence. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's Prints and Drawings exhibition hall, this remarkable piece stands as a testament to Low's talent as well as America's rich artistic heritage. As we admire "On This Side of Jove's Clouds" we are reminded of our connection to centuries past—an enduring link between artistry then and now.
