EDITORS COMMENTS
In this color lithograph titled "Then Perseus held aloft the Gorgons head" we are transported to ancient Greece, where the legendary hero Perseus triumphantly displays his conquest. The artwork, created by Howard Davie in the early 20th century, beautifully captures a pivotal moment from Greek mythology. Perseus stands tall and proud, his muscular frame illuminated against a dark backdrop. In his hand, he holds high the severed head of Medusa - one of the three Gorgon sisters with snakes for hair whose gaze could turn anyone into stone. With determination etched on his face, Perseus showcases both bravery and cunning as he brandishes this fearsome trophy. This print is part of an illustration series for "The Heroes or Greek Fairy Tales" published by Raphael Tuck around 1900. It serves as a visual representation of one of these timeless stories that have captivated audiences for centuries. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the power and allure of ancient legends and their ability to transport us to distant worlds filled with heroes and mythical creatures. As we gaze upon this scene, our imagination is ignited as we envision ourselves standing alongside Perseus in awe-inspiring Greece - a land steeped in rich history and captivating tales. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to bring home a piece of Greek mythology's magic while celebrating the artistic talent that brings these stories to life.
