They Crashed into the Persian Army with Tremendous Force
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating illustration that transports us back to ancient Greece and the legendary Battle of Marathon. Created by Walter Crane in 1913, this vibrant colour print captures the intensity and valor of the Athenian soldiers as they clash against the mighty Persian army. The scene depicts a pivotal moment in history when Greek hoplites, adorned in gleaming armor and plumed helmets, charge fearlessly towards their adversaries. With spears raised high and shields locked together for protection, these brave warriors embody unwavering determination. Intricately detailed, Crane's artwork showcases not only his artistic prowess but also his deep understanding of historical events. The vastness of the sea behind them serves as a reminder that this battle took place on foreign shores, where Athens defended its freedom against an imposing enemy from Persia. This children's illustration from "The Story of Greece" by Mary Macgregor encapsulates both educational value and visual delight. It immortalizes an important victory for Greece in 490 BC while igniting our imagination with tales of heroism and sacrifice. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from The Stapleton Collection, we are reminded of how art can transport us through time and connect us to significant moments in human history.
