EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Four Winds - East: Oriens Apeliotes, the Wind of the East, Pursued by Aurora," is a stunning representation of classical mythology and the passage of time. Dating back to circa 1640, this historical print showcases the mythological figures of Oriens Apeliotes, the Wind of the East, and Aurora, the Goddess of the Dawn. Oriens Apeliotes is depicted as a robust figure, with flowing hair and a determined expression, as he scatters flowers upon the Earth below. His role as the Wind of the East signifies the arrival of spring and new beginnings. In Greek mythology, he was believed to be the harbinger of the east wind, which brought the scent of blooming flowers and the promise of a new season. Aurora, the Goddess of the Dawn, is shown in the image as a graceful figure, with long, flowing robes and an ethereal glow. She is depicted in pursuit of Oriens Apeliotes, symbolizing the inexorable passage of time and the end of the night. The dawn brings with it a new day, filled with possibilities and opportunities. The intricate details of this print, with its delicate lines and vibrant colors, transport us back to a time when mythology and the natural world were deeply intertwined. The flowers that Oriens Apeliotes scatters represent the rebirth and renewal that comes with the changing of the seasons. This beautiful and timeless image is a testament to the enduring power of mythology and the natural world, and serves as a reminder of the cyclical nature of life.
