EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic artwork "Bellerophon Riding Pegasus Fighting the Chimaera" by Peter Paul Rubens. Painted in 1635, this oil on panel masterpiece measures 34x27.5 cm and is currently housed at the Musee Bonnat in Bayonne, France. The painting depicts a thrilling scene from Greek mythology as Bellerophon, adorned in armor, fearlessly rides atop the majestic winged horse Pegasus. With his lance held high, he valiantly confronts and pierces through the fearsome Chimaera - a mythological creature with multiple heads and body parts of various animals. Rubens' masterful brushstrokes bring this dramatic moment to life, capturing every detail of Bellerophon's heroic stance and determination. The artist skillfully portrays the intensity of battle as he highlights each element: from the hero's focused gaze to Pegasus' powerful wingspan. This artwork exemplifies Rubens' signature baroque style with its dynamic composition and rich color palette. It serves as a study of strength, bravery, and triumph over monstrous adversaries that resonate throughout history. As we admire this exquisite print by Bridgeman Images, we are transported into an ancient world where heroes rise above challenges to achieve greatness. This piece not only celebrates artistic excellence but also invites us to reflect on timeless themes such as courage and perseverance in our own lives.
