EDITORS COMMENTS
In this colour lithograph, we witness the dramatic moment when "The shadow of Death came down upon Hector". Created by William Heath Robinson, this print is a visual representation of an intense scene from Homer's epic poem, The Iliad. Robinson's skillful use of color and composition draws us into the ancient world of Greek mythology. The image depicts the Trojan hero Hector standing defiantly against his formidable adversary, Achilles. As the shadow looms over him, it symbolizes the imminent doom that awaits Hector on the battlefield. This artwork serves as an illustration for Stories from The Iliad or The Siege of Troy told by Jeanie Lang. Through Robinson's masterful brushstrokes, we can almost feel the tension and hear the clash of weapons in this pivotal moment during the Trojan War. The print transports us back to a time when literature was celebrated through vivid storytelling and poetic verses. It reminds us of Greece's rich cultural heritage and its enduring influence on art and literature throughout history. Displayed in a private collection, this remarkable piece captures both our imagination and curiosity about ancient civilizations. Its presence evokes contemplation on themes such as honor, fate, mortality – universal concepts that continue to resonate with audiences today. Bridgeman Images has preserved this exceptional work for future generations to appreciate its artistic brilliance and historical significance within Greek literature and mythology.
