EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment from ancient Greek mythology. In this illustration, Thetis, a nymph and mother of the great warrior Achilles, is seen bringing armor to her grieving son. The image is taken from "Stories From Homer" by Rev. Alfred J. Church and features the intricate designs of John Flaxman. The scene depicts Thetis as she mournfully presents the suit of armor to Achilles, who lies down in grief beside his fallen comrade during the Trojan War. The colors used in this piece - yellow, orange, and black - evoke a sense of sorrow and death that permeates throughout ancient Greek culture. The artist's use of line art adds depth and emotion to the characters' expressions as they navigate their way through tragedy and loss. This engraved image beautifully captures both the classical style and action inherent in Greek mythology. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness an eternal tale filled with fantasy, heroism, grief, and war. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history while also showcasing the enduring power of mythological narratives. Whitemay's print offers us a glimpse into an ancient civilization where gods interacted with mortals on epic battlefields – reminding us that even amidst chaos and destruction, there is beauty to be found in stories passed down through generations.
