EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable drawing titled "Hercules combatant l'hydrre de Lerne" by Pierre Puget. The artwork, measuring 54x41 cm, is housed in the Palais de Longchamp in Marseille, France. Jean Bernard has expertly captured this masterpiece through his lens, allowing us to appreciate its intricate details. The drawing depicts Hercules engaged in an epic battle against the fearsome Hydra of Lerna. With his immense strength and unwavering determination, Hercules confronts this monstrous creature head-on. The clash between man and beast is vividly portrayed as they fiercely duel with their weapons of choice. This piece not only reflects the mythology and artistry prevalent during that era but also embodies themes of power, force, and religious symbolism. It transports viewers into a world where mythical creatures roam freely alongside humans. Puget's skillful rendering brings forth an imaginary character that captivates our imagination – a fantastic animal born out of ancient paganism beliefs. This confrontation between Hercules and the Hydra symbolizes the eternal struggle between good and evil. Jean Bernard's photography perfectly captures every stroke of Puget's pen or brushstroke on paper. Through this image, we are transported back to 17th-century France where wildlife meets mythological characters in breathtaking battles for supremacy. As we admire this extraordinary artwork preserved within European history, it serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with both reality and fantasy throughout time.
