EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts a scene from a cherished Serbian myth known as "Nine Pea-Hens and Golden Apples." In this folktale, an Empress, renowned for her extraordinary beauty, possessed nine pea-hens that laid golden eggs. A jealous dragon, mesmerized by the Empress's radiance, coveted the golden eggs for himself. The dragon, disguised as a humble traveler, approached the Empress, requesting permission to sleep in her courtyard. She granted his request, but the dragon, in his true form, seized the opportunity to abduct the Empress. He carried her off on his powerful wings, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. This golden-hued print, by Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online, beautifully captures the moment of the dragon's audacious kidnapping. The Empress, dressed in regal attire, clings to the dragon's scales with a determined expression, while the dragon, adorned with intricate gold patterns, soars through the sky with an unyielding grip. The historical significance of this myth, deeply rooted in Serbian folklore, is brought to life through the vivid colors and intricate details of this print. The myth of the "Nine Pea-Hens and Golden Apples" is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Serbia, showcasing the interplay of good and evil, beauty and power, and the resilience of the human spirit. This print is not only a stunning work of art, but also a window into the fascinating history and folklore of the Balkan region.
