"Winged Horses: Caricatures of Future Travel and Mythical Inspirations" Step into a world where imagination takes flight, as winged horses grace the realms of art and mythology. From a teapot depicting Aurora in a chariot to a soup tureen crafted by Martin-Guillaume Biennais, these exquisite pieces transport us to an era where fantasy intertwines with reality. Intricate details adorn a court sword and scabbard, showcasing the skill of Biennais once again. The elegance of this creation evokes visions of noble knights riding upon majestic winged steeds, ready to embark on daring adventures. A panel furnishing fabric from London in 1852 captures the essence of ethereal beauty. With its delicate design featuring winged horses soaring through clouds, it invites us to dream beyond our earthly confines and embrace the enchantment that lies within our imaginations. The Ascension of Elijah depicted in an icon from the Pskov School mesmerizes with its vibrant colors and divine symbolism. As Elijah ascends towards heaven on the back of a celestial horse, we are reminded that even in ancient times, humans yearned for wings to carry them beyond mortal limitations. Gustave Moreau's painting portrays Greek poet Hesiod alongside the Muses - goddesses who inspire creativity. Amongst them stands Pegasus, symbolizing poetic inspiration taking flight on powerful wings. This masterpiece reminds us that art itself can be like a winged horse carrying us into realms unknown. "The March of Intellect" captures another facet of our fascination with winged equines - their association with progress and enlightenment. Symbolizing humanity's pursuit for knowledge and innovation, these creatures embody our desire to soar above boundaries and explore new horizons. An enchanting mid-19th century artwork simply titled "Aurora" captivates viewers with its depiction of dawn breaking over rolling hills while graceful winged horses dance across the sky.
