EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an ancient masterpiece, the Attic black-figure dinos depicting Perseus fleeing from the Gorgons. Created around 590 BC by Greek artists, this ceramic artwork is now housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The image captures a pivotal moment in Greek mythology as Perseus desperately escapes from the terrifying Gorgons. With his heart pounding and adrenaline surging through his veins, he races forward with determination. The artist skillfully portrays Perseus' heroic figure running on a horseback while clutching Medusa's severed head. The intricately detailed pottery vessel features archaic designs and mythical creatures that add depth to this dramatic scene. Winged monsters known as Gorgons are depicted with their wild hair and fearsome expressions, reminding us of their deadly gaze that turns any mortal into stone. As we admire this ancient artifact frozen in time, we can't help but be captivated by its historical significance. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of mythological tales and the artistic prowess of ancient civilizations. This photograph was taken by Giraudon in 1933, allowing us to appreciate not only the beauty of this artwork but also its preservation throughout history. Its timeless appeal continues to inspire awe and fascination for those who encounter it at the Louvre or through prints like these provided by Bridgeman Images.
