EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to ancient Greece, where the legendary beauty Helen of Troy often stood upon the majestic walls of her city. Illustrated by Walter Crane for Mary Macgregor's "The Story of Greece" this image captures the essence of Greek mythology and the epic Trojan War. Dressed in exquisite armor, Helen stands tall on the ramparts, exuding grace and power. Her presence is both enchanting and commanding, as she gazes into the distance with a sense of longing. Surrounded by her loyal servants and admirers, she embodies not only physical beauty but also strength and resilience. Feathers gently flutter around her, symbolizing her mythical status as a queen and muse. As we gaze at this children's illustration from 1913, we are transported into Homer's Iliad - an epic tale that immortalizes Helen's fateful role in igniting one of history's most famous wars. In this moment frozen in time, we witness Helen waiting patiently for her lover or perhaps contemplating her destiny amidst the turmoil surrounding Troy. The vibrant colors bring life to this mythological scene while reminding us of our fascination with timeless legends. This remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed since its creation; it continues to captivate audiences with its portrayal of beauty, love, war, and human emotions intertwined within ancient Greek culture.
