EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph, titled "Peleus and Thetis" takes us back to ancient Greek mythology. Created by the German School in the 19th century, this artwork beautifully captures a moment from a Greek vase painting. The scene depicts Peleus, a heroic man, and Thetis, a graceful nymph who would become his wife. In this enchanting image, we witness the union of two worlds - that of mortals and gods. Peleus stands tall with wings sprouting from his back, symbolizing his divine lineage as the son of Poseidon. Thetis gracefully extends her hand towards him while surrounded by mythical creatures such as centaurine ichthyocentaurs. The artist skillfully portrays the harmonious marriage between these two figures against an intricate backdrop of classical pottery and vibrant colors. This print transports us into a world where heroes roam alongside Olympian gods and stories come alive through art. Through this historical piece, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage left behind by ancient Greece. It serves as both an homage to their mythological tales and an appreciation for fine arts that have endured throughout centuries. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we find ourselves immersed in a world where love transcends boundaries – be it mortal or divine – leaving us captivated by its timeless beauty.
