EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Vulcan and the Cyclopes" takes us back to ancient times, immersing us in the world of mythology and epic stories. Created by an English School artist from the 19th century, this colourful lithograph captures a momentous scene from Virgil's Aeneid. In this vivid illustration for Stories from Virgil by Alfred J Church, we witness Vulcan, the Roman god of fire and metalworking, surrounded by his loyal companions - the mighty Cyclopes. The image transports us to a time when gods walked among mortals and mythical creatures roamed freely. The composition exudes a sense of power and awe as Vulcan commands his skilled workers with precision. With their massive frames and single eyes, the Cyclopes diligently forge weapons and armor under their master's watchful eye. This depiction not only showcases their physical strength but also highlights their indispensable role in shaping ancient history. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are reminded of the enduring appeal of classical tales that have captivated audiences for centuries. The Latin poet Publius Vergilius Maro (Virgil) crafted these timeless narratives that continue to inspire artists across generations. Through this print brought to life by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are invited to delve into a world where myths intertwine with reality – an enchanting journey into our collective past where legends come alive before our very eyes.
