EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing piece of art titled "Cerberus (colour litho)" by the English School in the 19th century. The artwork, now part of a private collection, beautifully captures the essence of mythology and epic storytelling. The image is an illustration for "Stories from Virgil" written by Alfred J Church and published in Seeley in 1882. It depicts Cerberus, the three-headed dog guarding the gates of Hades in ancient Greek mythology. This mythical creature symbolizes both fear and protection as it stands tall with its fierce gaze. The artist's attention to detail is evident through their skillful use of color lithography, bringing life to this classical scene. The print transports us back to a time when Latin classics like Publius Vergilius Maro's Aeneid were highly regarded for their poetic brilliance. Virgil, also known as Vergil or Publius Vergilius Maro, was one of Rome's most celebrated poets during the Augustan period. His work has left an indelible mark on literature and continues to inspire generations with its timeless tales. As we admire this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of the enduring power that myths hold over our imagination. It serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with ancient stories that continue to captivate us even today.
