EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, created by Henry Duff Linton in 1857, transports us to the mythical world of Greek mythology. Titled "The Goddess of Discord in the Garden of the Hesperides" this engraving captures a pivotal moment in ancient lore. In the center of an enchanting landscape, we see the majestic figure of the Goddess of Discord herself. With her ethereal beauty and commanding presence, she stands amidst a lush garden known as the Hesperides. This sacred place is said to be guarded by nymphs who tend to its abundant fruit trees. As we gaze at this intricate wood engraving, we are drawn into a scene filled with tension and intrigue. The goddess's expression reveals her mischievous nature as she holds an apple - a symbol that will ignite chaos among gods and mortals alike. Linton's attention to detail brings life to every element within this artwork. From the delicate foliage surrounding our central figure to the serene nymphs gracefully attending their duties, each aspect contributes to an atmosphere both serene and foreboding. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece serves as a testament not only to Linton's artistic skill but also his deep understanding and appreciation for classical mythology. It invites viewers on a journey through time, allowing us glimpses into ancient narratives that continue to captivate our imagination today.
