EDITORS COMMENTS
This color lithograph, titled "Perseus flying to kill the Gorgon" transports us into the realm of ancient Greek mythology. Created by Thomas Ralph Spence in the late 19th century, this print captures a pivotal moment in the legendary tale of Perseus, as he embarks on his perilous mission to slay Medusa, one of the three Gorgons. The image depicts Perseus soaring through the sky with wings attached to his ankles and holding a gleaming sword in hand. His determined gaze reveals both bravery and determination as he prepares to confront the monstrous creature whose gaze turns all who meet it into stone. The vibrant colors used in this lithograph enhance the sense of drama and intensity surrounding this mythological encounter. Spence's illustration was originally created for "Perseus the Gorgon Slayer" an English retelling of this timeless story written by W. J. Gordon around 1880. This artwork beautifully captures not only Perseus' heroic journey but also reflects elements of classical Greek artistry prevalent during that era. As we admire this stunning piece, we are reminded of how myths continue to captivate our imagination across generations. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with ancient tales and their ability to transcend time and culture.
