EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from La Fontaine's Fables, illustrated by Gustave Dore, captures the haunting essence of Medusa. In Greek mythology, Medusa was a fearsome Gorgon with a grotesque human face and hair made of venomous snakes. Legend has it that anyone who dared to meet her gaze would be instantly transformed into stone. The intricate details in this print bring to life the ancient civilization of Greece and its rich mythological characters. The head of Medusa is depicted with such realism that one can almost feel the serpents slithering through her hair. This allegory painting serves as a reminder of the power and danger that lies within our own minds. As an engraved image created in the 19th century, this artwork carries a sense of nostalgia for times long gone. It represents an era when artistry flourished through woodcuts and illustrations like these were highly valued. With its Victorian style and old-fashioned charm, this print evokes a sense of wonderment and curiosity about ancient tales passed down through generations. It invites us to delve into literature where mythical creatures roamed freely. Whether displayed in a gallery or cherished at home, this print takes us on a journey back in time while igniting our imagination with stories from classical mythology.
