"Monstrous Encounters: From Ancient Myths to Modern Temptations" Step into a world where the line between reality and imagination blurs, as monstrous beings come alive on canvas, wood, and even in our dreams. The art pieces showcased here depict an array of terrifying creatures that have captivated artists throughout history. In "The Temptation of Saint Anthony (Oil on canvas), " we witness the saint's struggle against grotesque demons who tempt him with their sinister allure. Their twisted forms and eerie expressions serve as a reminder of the constant battle between good and evil. "The Evil Spirits of the Modern Daily Press (colour litho)" transports us to a different kind of monster - one created by sensationalism and manipulation. This thought-provoking artwork highlights how media can distort truth, turning ordinary events into monstrous tales that haunt our collective consciousness. Diving deeper into the depths, "A diver attacked by an octopus (colour litho)" portrays a thrilling encounter with nature's own monstrosity. The tentacles wrap around the diver like serpents from another realm, reminding us of both fascination and fear towards unknown creatures lurking beneath the surface. Moving back in time to ancient mythology, "The abduction of Amymone by the sea monster" captures a moment frozen in eternal struggle. Here we see Amymone being snatched away by a fearsome creature from Greek legends - its scaly body intertwining with her fragile form. In "Perseus and Andromeda, " heroism takes center stage as Perseus battles against an enormous sea serpent threatening to devour his beloved Andromeda. With sword raised high, he embodies courage in facing this monstrous foe head-on. Venturing further into nightmares is "The Dream of the Doctor. " In this haunting engraving, fantastical beasts torment a sleeping doctor whose mind becomes fertile ground for nightmarish visions. It serves as a reminder that even in our dreams, monsters can lurk.
