EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration titled "Bellerophon at the Fountain" we are transported into the enchanting world of Greek mythology. Created by Walter Crane in 1852, as part of Nathaniel Hawthorne's A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys, this colour lithograph brings to life the legendary hero Bellerophon. The scene unfolds with Bellerophon standing before a magnificent fountain, its waters glistening under the golden rays of sunlight. Dressed in heroic attire, his muscular frame exudes strength and determination. With one hand resting on his sword and the other reaching out towards the water's edge, he appears both contemplative and ready for action. As we delve deeper into Greek mythology through this image, we can almost hear whispers of ancient tales surrounding Bellerophon. Known for taming Pegasus – the winged horse – our hero embarks on daring adventures against mythical creatures such as Chimera. Crane's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from Bellerophon's flowing cape to each delicate leaf adorning nearby trees. The vibrant colors used evoke a sense of wonder and magic that perfectly complements Hawthorne's storytelling. This print serves as a reminder that within these mythological narratives lies timeless wisdom and inspiration. It invites us to explore our own inner heroes while immersing ourselves in an imaginative realm where legends come alive.
