EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the legendary moment when the hero Perseus, clinging courageously to the back of the magnificent winged horse Pegasus, soars through the sky. Hailing from Classical Mythology, this iconic scene represents the triumph of human determination and divine intervention. Perseus, a noble and brave hero, was on a quest to retrieve the head of the Gorgon Medusa, a monstrous creature with the power to turn anyone who looked at her to stone. To accomplish this daunting task, he was granted the assistance of Pegasus, the winged horse, as a gift from the god Poseidon. As they take flight, Perseus holds the head of Medusa, which he had recently severed, safely in a satchel. The fearsome head, now devoid of its living essence, is shown with its serpent-like locks transforming into stone as it gazes down at the ground below. The image evokes a sense of awe and wonder, as the duo defies the laws of nature and gracefully glides through the clouds. The intricate details of the print bring the myth to life, from the rippling waves below to the delicate feathers of Pegasus' wings. This print serves as a reminder of the power of courage, determination, and the divine intervention that can help us overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges. It is a testament to the enduring allure of Classical Mythology and the timeless stories that continue to inspire and captivate us.
