EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving of "Homer's Iliad" by the English School in the 19th century. The artwork, part of a private collection, was originally created as an illustration for the Pictorial Atlas to Homer's Iliad and Odyssey in 1892. With meticulous digital cleaning, this image brings forth the intricate details and beauty of the original piece. The engraving depicts various scenes from Greek mythology, including elements such as a francois vase, storks, pygmies, snakes, and relief carvings. It transports us back to ancient Athens with its terracotta figures and references to birth and battle. One can observe Roman sarcophagi adorned with depictions of Trojan warriors engaged in fierce combat while being stung by venomous serpents. The painting also features prominent figures like Helen of Troy and Paris amidst a backdrop that includes Athenians carrying shields emblazoned with Athena's iconic Aegis. This stunning composition is not only visually striking but also serves as a testament to the enduring power of literature. Through this engraving, we are reminded of Homer's epic poems - both the Iliad and Odyssey - which have shaped Western literary tradition for centuries. Bridgeman Images has masterfully captured this remarkable artwork from Fine Art Finder without compromising its essence or historical significance. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into a world where gods clash with mortals on distant battlefields – an eternal confrontation
