Passage of the Argonauts through the Symplegades, Hellespont, 1733. A thrilling depiction of a legendary quest
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Bernard Picart takes us back to ancient Greek mythology, specifically the perilous journey of Jason and his crew, the Argonauts. The scene captures a pivotal moment as they navigate their ship through treacherous waters known as the Symplegades in the Hellespont strait. The artist skillfully portrays the danger and hazard faced by these heroic men. The narrow strait is flanked by towering rocks that threaten to crush any vessel attempting passage. With oars in hand, rowing with all their might, these brave sailors confront this formidable obstacle head-on. Picart's attention to detail brings this epic adventure to life. Every wave crashing against the ship's hull adds tension to an already precarious situation. The determination etched on each man's face reflects their unwavering commitment to completing their quest for the Golden Fleece. Through this engraving, we are transported into a world where myth intertwines with reality. It serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with tales of heroism and legends passed down through generations. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from centuries past, we can't help but marvel at both its artistic beauty and its ability to evoke emotions tied to bravery and perseverance in pursuit of greatness.
