EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "And Lycius Arms Were Empty of Delight, 1885" created by Will H. Low, we are transported back to ancient Greece through the artist's skillful depiction. The scene is inspired by John Keats' poem Lamia, which adds a layer of depth and literary connection to the artwork. The image showcases two figures, a male and a female, floating or levitating in mid-air. Their bodies seem weightless as they effortlessly glide above the ground. The use of brown and white gouache over traces of black chalk on cream wood pulp laminate board gives the piece an antique feel, enhancing its historical significance. Low's attention to detail is evident in his meticulous rendering of the figures' facial expressions and flowing garments. The man appears pensive with empty arms that suggest a longing for something lost or unattainable. Meanwhile, the woman exudes an ethereal beauty as she gracefully hovers beside him. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to both Greek mythology and American artistry from the 19th century. It can be found at the Art Institute Chicago's gallery dedicated to prints and drawings, where visitors can immerse themselves in this mesmerizing fusion of literature and visual artistry from centuries past.
