EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Sleep and Death conveying the body of Sarpedon to Lycia" we are transported back in time to ancient European culture and immersed in a scene from ancient history. The image, taken from the book "Stories From Homer" by Rev. Alfred J. Church, M. A. , beautifully captures an illustration by John Flaxman that was published in London in 1878. The artwork depicts a poignant moment as Sleep and Death gently carry the lifeless body of Sarpedon, a hero from ancient civilization, back to his homeland of Lycia. The composition exudes a sense of solemnity and reverence, with delicate details bringing forth emotions of grief and loss. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the timeless themes explored throughout human history - mortality, honor, and the enduring power of legends. It serves as a testament to our fascination with heroes who have shaped our past and continue to inspire us today. Through Whitemay's lens, this photograph preserves not only an exquisite work of art but also invites us into a world where myth intertwines with reality. It encourages us to delve deeper into European cultural heritage while igniting our curiosity about ancient civilizations that have left an indelible mark on humanity's collective consciousness. This print is more than just an aesthetically pleasing piece; it is a visual gateway inviting us to explore the rich tapestry woven by history itself.
