EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant chromolitho print titled "Wednesday and Thursday" captures the essence of ancient Greece in a captivating way. Created by an unknown European School artist in the 19th century, this artwork showcases the personifications of these two days of the week. In this illustration, we see Mercury (or Hermes) representing Wednesday and Jupiter (or Zeus) symbolizing Thursday. The gods are depicted with intricate details, surrounded by elements that represent their respective domains. Mercury holds bolts of lightning, signifying his association with communication and swiftness. On the other hand, Jupiter is accompanied by an eagle, a powerful symbol associated with his authority as king of gods. The use of bold colors adds to the visual appeal of this piece, bringing life to each character and element portrayed. This print serves as a delightful reminder that even in ancient times, people recognized and celebrated different days within a week. With its rich historical references and artistic finesse, "Wednesday and Thursday" offers viewers a glimpse into antiquity while showcasing the enduring influence Greek mythology has had on our culture throughout centuries. Whether displayed in homes or galleries alike, this artwork invites us to appreciate both artistry and history intertwined seamlessly on one canvas.
