EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sappho and Pegasus" transports us to the ancient world of Greece, where mythology and art intertwine. Painted by Vasili Dmitrievich Millioti in 1931, this masterpiece showcases Sappho, a renowned poetess from the 6th century BC, alongside the majestic winged horse Pegasus. The artist's use of vibrant red hues against a backdrop of a serene beach and sea creates an atmosphere that is both striking and contemplative. Sappho holds a lyre, a musical instrument often associated with her poetic prowess, symbolizing her connection to music as well as her role as an inspiration for future generations of writers. In this painting, we witness Sappho's solitude on the coastline of Lesbos, her birthplace. The mythological figure exudes loneliness but also strength and resilience through her gaze towards the horizon. As one of the few surviving female voices from ancient Greece, she represents not only poetry but also empowerment for women throughout history. Pegasus stands beside Sappho with grace and elegance. This mythical creature embodies freedom and imagination while serving as a muse for artists like Millioti. Together they create an enchanting scene that captures the essence of ancient Greek culture – its literature, its myths, and its timeless beauty. This remarkable artwork serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage while inspiring us to explore our own creativity within today's modern world.
