EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration by Clement Gontier, depicting a pivotal moment from the epic tale of Bellerophon in Homer's "The Iliad". The artwork, created in 1930 for Henri Laurens' publication, transports viewers to ancient Greece and immerses them in the world of Greek mythology. In this scene, we witness Bellerophon astride his majestic horse Pegase as they engage in a fierce battle against the fearsome Chimere. With determination etched on their faces, both horse and rider embody strength and bravery as they confront this mythical beast. The intricate details of Gontier's engraving bring every element to life - from the flowing mane of Pegase to the menacing presence of the Chimere. The composition is masterfully executed, with an arc framing the action and drawing our eyes towards Bellerophon poised with his weapon - an arrow ready to strike true. This portrayal captures not only a climactic moment within Greek mythology but also highlights themes such as heroism, triumph over adversity, and man's eternal struggle against formidable foes. Stefano Bianchetti's expert photography allows us to appreciate every nuance of Gontier's work while preserving its historical significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back through time into a world where gods and heroes roamed ancient Greece. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and storytelling prowess that continues to captivate audiences even today.
