EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph, we are transported to the enchanting world of ancient Ireland as depicted in T. W. Rolleston's "The High Deeds of Finn, and other Bardic Romances". The scene unfolds with an air of mystery and magic, leaving us mesmerized by its ethereal beauty. At the center of the illustration stands a majestic white steed, its presence commanding attention and awe. Yet, just as quickly as it appeared before our eyes like a delicate mist, it vanishes into thin air. This fleeting moment captures the essence of Irish mythology where reality intertwines seamlessly with myth. The focus then shifts to Oisin, son of Finn mac Cumhal, who undergoes a dramatic transformation right before our eyes. Once youthful and strong, he is now portrayed as an old beggar-like man. We can almost feel his confusion and despair at being deceived by the Princess of the Land of Youth. Stephen Reid's skillful use of color brings vibrancy to every detail - from Oisin's flowing beard to Niam's golden hair - immersing us further into this mythical realm. The artist masterfully captures not only physical attributes but also emotions that resonate deeply within us. This lithograph serves as a reminder that legends have enduring power; they transport us across time and space while reflecting universal human experiences. It invites us to delve deeper into Irish mythology and explore the rich tapestry woven by ancient bards like T. W. Rolleston.
