EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Perseus on the Winged Horse Pegasus, with Medusa's Head" takes us back to ancient Greek mythology. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases Perseus, a hero known for his daring adventures. Mounted on the majestic winged horse Pegasus, Perseus holds aloft the severed head of Medusa. The image is taken from "The Illustrated History of the World" a renowned publication from Ward Lock dating back to around 1880. The digital restoration of this artwork allows us to appreciate its intricate details and vibrant colors. In Greek mythology, Medusa was one of three Gorgon sisters whose gaze could turn anyone into stone. Perseus embarked on a perilous quest to slay her and used her decapitated head as a weapon against his enemies. This scene captures that triumphant moment when Perseus emerges victorious over evil. Through this engraving, we are transported into a world where mythical creatures roam freely and heroes rise above adversity. It serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with legends and our eternal desire for triumph over darkness. Displayed in private collections worldwide, this fine art print by Bridgeman Images not only preserves history but also invites viewers to delve deeper into ancient tales that continue to captivate our imagination today.
