EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print, titled "Hermes stealing the cattle of Apollo" takes us back to ancient Greek mythology. Created by an anonymous European artist in the 19th century, this artwork is part of a private collection and offers a glimpse into the world of gods and legends. In this scene, we witness Hermes, also known as Mercury in Roman mythology, engaging in his mischievous nature. The god of thieves and commerce has cunningly stolen Apollo's prized herd without being detected. As he leads the cows away from their oblivious shepherd, Hermes dances with joy while playing enchanting music on his lyre. The image beautifully captures the essence of Greek culture and religion. It showcases the importance placed on herding and animal husbandry during that time period. Apollo, one of Greece's most revered deities associated with music and prophecy, remains unaware of Hermes' audacious act. This chromolitho print not only serves as a visual delight but also provides educational value for those interested in Greek mythology. Through its vibrant colors and intricate details, it transports viewers to an ancient era where gods roamed freely among mortals. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece from their Fine Art Finder collection for art enthusiasts to appreciate its historical significance and artistic brilliance.
