Into the Green Recessed Woods They Flew, 1885
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports viewers back to ancient Greece. Created by Will H. Low in the late 19th century, this black and white gouache drawing on cream wood pulp laminate board beautifully captures the essence of Greek mythology and literature. In this artwork, we witness a scene inspired by John Keats' poem "Lamia" where figures clad in antique armor soar through lush green woods. The artist skillfully depicts both male and female characters flying effortlessly amidst billowing clouds, evoking a sense of freedom and otherworldly enchantment. The intricate details of their helmets and casques showcase the rich heritage art associated with ancient Greece. As they navigate through nature's embrace, these ethereal beings embody mythical deities like Hermes, symbolizing communication between worlds. Low's artistic prowess shines through his delicate use of brown and white gouache with touches of black to create depth and contrast within this monochromatic piece. The absence of color enhances the timeless quality of the artwork while emphasizing its historical significance. This exquisite print can be found at the Art Institute Chicago's gallery for prints and drawings. It serves as a testament to Low's talent as well as his deep appreciation for classical literature and culture. Immerse yourself in this mesmerizing depiction that seamlessly merges poetry with visual artistry, inviting you into an ancient world filled with gods, heroes, and boundless imagination.
