EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph titled "Jason and the Argonauts: 'The good ship Argo leapt up from the sand upon the rollers, and plunged onward like a gallant horse'" by George Soper depicts a powerful moment from Greek mythology. The image showcases the legendary vessel, Argo, emerging triumphantly from the sandy shores as if propelled by an unseen force. With its majestic leap onto the rollers, it resembles a gallant horse charging forward with unwavering determination. This artwork was created as an illustration for Charles Kingsley's book "The Heroes" published around 1920. It beautifully captures the essence of this ancient tale and brings to life one of its most iconic scenes. The ship's dynamic movement symbolizes bravery, adventure, and perseverance in pursuit of glory. Soper's attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of various animals surrounding Argo - horses, racehorses, ponies, shire horses - representing both domesticated and wild creatures that coexist harmoniously within this mythical world. This composition highlights not only their physical presence but also their significance in Greek folklore. Through this lithograph print, viewers are transported back to ancient Greece where mythological stories were woven into everyday life. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with legends and how they continue to inspire us today.
