In this photo print, we are transported to the world of Greek mythology as depicted by Joseph Ferdinand Lancrenon in 1822. The artwork titled "Boreas abducting Oreithyia" beautifully captures a moment filled with drama and emotion. The image portrays Boreas, the personification of the north wind, forcefully sweeping away Oreithyia, a mortal princess. With his wings spread wide and his muscular physique on display, Boreas exudes power and strength. Meanwhile, Oreithyia appears both startled and helpless in his grasp.
