EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print depicts the Map of the Wanderings of Aeneas and flight of Icarus, two iconic tales from Greek mythology. The intricate details in this 20th-century artwork bring to life the epic journey of Aeneas as he navigates through Europe and Italy, following his destiny as a legendary hero.
The map also showcases the tragic story of Icarus, who famously flew too close to the sun with wings made of feathers and wax. The contrasting paths taken by these mythological figures serve as a reminder of hubris and humility, ambition and caution.
Created for Selections from Vergil and Ovid edited by R M Lupton in 1934, this black-and-white illustration captures the essence of ancient literature and history. The English School artist behind this masterpiece skillfully weaves together elements of geography, legend, and adventure into one cohesive visual narrative.
As you study this litho closely, you can almost feel yourself being transported back in time to witness these timeless tales unfold before your eyes. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and imagination throughout human civilization.
This print is not just a work of art; it is a window into our collective past that continues to inspire awe and wonder today.
