EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Victory of Light over Darkness" we are transported to the mesmerizing world created by Hans Makart in 1883-84. The artwork, housed at the Osterreichische Galerie Belvedere in Vienna, Austria, showcases Makart's exceptional talent and his ability to convey profound symbolism through his brushstrokes. At the center of the composition stands a nude figure representing Apollo, the Greek god of light and sun. He is depicted riding a magnificent sun chariot, exuding power and strength as he traverses across the canvas. This portrayal alludes to Phaethon, Apollo's son from Greek mythology who attempted to drive his father's chariot but failed miserably due to his inability to control its fiery horses. Makart skillfully captures the moment when light triumphs over darkness with an explosion of vibrant colors and dynamic movement. The artist masterfully blends warm hues that symbolize enlightenment and hope with cool tones representing shadows and ignorance. This awe-inspiring artwork invites us to reflect on our own personal battles between lightness and obscurity within ourselves or society as a whole. It serves as a reminder that even in times of adversity, there is always potential for illumination and growth. Through this remarkable print offered by www. bridgemanart. com, we can now bring home a piece of art history that celebrates not only Makart's genius but also our collective journey towards enlightenment.
