EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph, titled "Perseus saw them dancing around the charmed tree" artist Howard Davie brings to life a scene from the ancient Greek myth of Perseus and the Gorgon. The print depicts Perseus, the legendary hero, gazing upon a mesmerizing sight - nymphs gracefully dancing around a mystical tree. The vibrant colors used in this artwork enhance the enchanting atmosphere of the scene. The nymphs' flowing garments seem to blend with their surroundings, creating an ethereal effect. As they twirl and leap in perfect harmony, their movements echo through the air like whispers of magic. Davie's attention to detail is evident in every element of this composition. The intricate branches of the charmed tree reach out towards Perseus as if inviting him into their secret world. Each leaf and flower is meticulously rendered, showcasing not only Davie's artistic skill but also his knowledge of botany. This lithograph was created as an illustration for Charles Kingsley's book "The Heroes or Greek Fairy Tales". It serves as a visual representation of one chapter where Perseus encounters these bewitching nymphs during his quest to slay Medusa, one of three Gorgon sisters. Through this print, we are transported back in time to witness a moment filled with both danger and beauty. It reminds us that even amidst perilous adventures, there can be moments of respite and wonderment.
