EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving of The Chimera, a mythical creature from Ancient Greek mythology, transports us back to a time of legends and fantastical beasts. The intricate details in this black and white print bring to life the hybrid creature with the body of a lion, the head of a goat emerging from its back, and a serpent for a tail.
The artist skillfully captures the essence of this monstrous being, known for its ferocity and ability to breathe fire. The Chimera's menacing presence is heightened by the intense gaze of its lion eyes and the coiled form of its serpentine tail.
As we study this engraving, we are reminded of the power that myths hold over our imagination. The blending of different animal features in The Chimera symbolizes our fascination with creatures that defy reality and challenge our perceptions.
Displayed in a private collection, this print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a window into ancient storytelling traditions. It invites us to ponder on the enduring appeal of mythical creatures like The Chimera and their place in shaping cultural narratives throughout history.
