EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration titled "The Jellyfish and the Monkey" we are transported into the enchanting world of Japanese mythology. Created by artist Evelyn Paul in 1918, this color lithograph is a visual representation of a tale from "The Myths and Legends of Japan" by F. Hadland Davis. The scene depicts an intriguing encounter between a jellyfish and a monkey on Monkey Island, surrounded by the vastness of the sea. The King of the Sea has tasked his loyal servant, the jellyfish, with finding a monkey to obtain its liver for curing his wife, the Dragon Queen. As we gaze at this print, our eyes are drawn to the vibrant colors that bring life to each element within it. The mythical creatures seem almost tangible against their natural surroundings - from the majestic pine tree standing tall in its verdant glory to various wild animals dotting Monkey Island's landscape. This artwork not only captures our imagination but also serves as a reminder of how myths and legends have shaped cultures throughout history. It invites us to delve deeper into Japanese folklore while appreciating Paul's skillful interpretation through her brushstrokes. "The Jellyfish and the Monkey" is part of a private collection belonging to The Stapleton Collection, showcasing its significance as an artistic treasure preserved over time. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us be inspired by its mythical allure and embrace stories that transcend generations.
