EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving by John Flaxman, we witness the divine siblings Apollo and Diana in a moment of intense focus and skill. The tender yet deadly art of archery is beautifully depicted as they discharge their arrows with precision and grace. This print, part of Flaxman's Classical Outlines series, transports us to the world of ancient mythology and literature. The classical theme resonates strongly in this artwork, evoking images from Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey". Apollo, the god of music and poetry, stands tall with his silver bow ready to strike. Beside him is Diana, goddess of the hunt, her own bow drawn back as she takes aim. Their silent determination speaks volumes about their mastery over these powerful weapons. Flaxman's attention to detail brings out every nuance in this scene - from the tension on Apollo's face to Diana's poised stance. The artist captures not only their physical prowess but also the emotional intensity that comes with wielding such lethal tools. This engraving serves as a reminder of our fascination with ancient myths and legends that continue to captivate audiences today. It invites us into a world where gods walk among mortals and heroes embark on extraordinary quests. As we gaze upon this exquisite piece, we are transported back in time to an era where skillful archers like Apollo and Diana held sway over life and death itself.
