EDITORS COMMENTS
This copper engraving by Bernard Picart depicts the thrilling moment when Phineus, the King of Thrace, is rescued from the clutches of the menacing Harpies by his valiant saviors, Calais and Zetes. The artwork dates back to 1731 and showcases a scene from their perilous journey with Jason and the Argonauts. In this dramatic composition, we see Phineus standing on a rocky beach, his regal stature emphasized by a magnificent royal crown atop his head. His long white beard flows in the wind as he extends an arm towards his rescuers who approach him with determination. Calais and Zetes are depicted wearing helmets and armor, their wings spread wide as they soar through the air towards Phineus' location. The artist skillfully captures both fear and relief in Phineus' expression as he gazes up at his liberators. The intricate details of each character's attire showcase Picart's mastery of copper engraving techniques. This print transports us to an ancient world filled with adventure and mythical creatures. It serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring struggle against evil forces while highlighting themes of bravery, loyalty, and heroism. Bernard Picart's work immortalizes this legendary tale for generations to come, allowing us to appreciate its significance within Greek mythology.
