EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Polyphemus" takes us back to the ancient world of Greek mythology. Created by an unknown French School artist in the 19th century, this artwork is a representation of Polyphemus, the famous Cyclops from Greek folklore. Polyphemus, with his single eye and towering figure, stands on a rocky landscape as he plays his flute. This image captures both the mythical and human aspects of this character. The flute symbolizes his love for music and artistry while also highlighting his vulnerability. Greek myths have been popular throughout history due to their timeless stories that explore various themes of humanity. Polyphemus' tale is one such example - it tells the story of Odysseus and his encounter with this giant creature during his journey home. The print showcases intricate details that bring out the essence of ancient beliefs and traditions. It serves as a reminder of how religion played a significant role in shaping societies during those times, particularly paganism and polytheism prevalent in Greece. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from its private collection, allowing us to delve into the rich tapestry of ancient mythological narratives. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to another world where gods roamed freely among mortals – a testament to our enduring fascination with these captivating tales from antiquity.
