EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 16th-century engraving by Pieter Jalhea Furnius, we are transported back to the ancient city of Troy during the infamous Trojan War. The scene depicts a pivotal moment as King Priam gazes upon the colossal wooden horse left behind by the Greeks. As it is dragged through the breached city walls, one can almost feel the tension and anticipation in the air. The Trojan horse stands tall and imposing, an offering from their Greek adversaries that conceals a sinister secret within its hollow belly. This masterful illustration beautifully captures both the grandeur and treachery of this legendary tale. King Priam's presence on the right side of the image adds a sense of vulnerability and contemplation. His watchful eyes reflect his uncertainty about accepting such an enigmatic gift from their enemies. Little does he know that hidden within lies a cunning plan devised by Odysseus and his fellow Greeks. This historical artwork serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with trickery throughout history. It draws us into Homer's epic poem, "The Iliad" where heroes clash, cities fall, and legends are born. Preserved in archives for centuries, this print by Gerard van Groeningen allows us to delve deep into our past while appreciating Ken Welsh's dedication to sharing historical imagery with art enthusiasts worldwide.
