EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating chromolithograph, "Medea putting the dragon guarding the Golden Fleece to sleep" transports viewers back to ancient Greek mythology. This exceptional print, created by the Spanish School in the 19th century, captures a pivotal moment in the legendary tale of Jason and his quest for the coveted Golden Fleece. In this mesmerizing scene, Medea, a powerful sorceress and key figure in Greek mythology, employs her magical abilities to lull the monstrous dragon into a deep slumber. With herbs and enchantments at her disposal, she skillfully puts to rest this fearsome creature that guards mankind's most sought-after treasure. The artist masterfully depicts Medea as an ethereal woman with an air of mystery surrounding her. Her delicate yet determined presence contrasts sharply against the menacing form of the dragon. The vibrant colors and intricate details showcased through chromolithography bring life to this fantastical encounter between man and monster. This artwork serves as an illustration for "Las Supersticiones De La Humanidad" by Jose Coroleu (F Seix, 1881), delving into themes of superstition and humanity's fascination with mythical creatures. It is a testament to both human imagination and our enduring belief in magic. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are transported into a world where heroes embark on perilous quests while facing unimaginable challenges. Through Medea's intervention, we witness how even mythical beings can succumb to sleep
