EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration, we are transported into the mythical world of Greek fairy tales. The print depicts a pivotal moment in the story of Perseus and his encounter with the fearsome Medusa. Titled "Dare you face such a monster as this?", it immediately challenges viewers to confront their own courage. The scene unfolds amidst a lush woodland, where Perseus, adorned in gleaming armor, kneels before Pallas Athene, the goddess who guides him on his quest. His reflection is mirrored in a crystal-clear stream below him, emphasizing both his vulnerability and determination. With unwavering resolve, he swears an oath to slay Medusa and rid the world of her terrifying presence. Medusa herself is depicted as an imposing figure with serpents for hair and a gaze that turns any who meet it into stone. Her monstrous appearance is contrasted by her delicate robes which flow gracefully around her form. This artwork beautifully captures the essence of heroism and bravery as Perseus prepares himself for battle against one of mythology's most formidable creatures. It serves as a reminder that even in the face of unimaginable danger, there are those willing to stand up against evil forces for the greater good.
