The Horses of the Morning, 1880
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us to the realm of Greek mythology. Created by Flaxman, this artwork beautifully depicts Eos, the Titaness and goddess of dawn, as she embarks on her daily journey from the edge of Oceanus. In this enchanting scene, Eos is seen holding onto the reins of her majestic horses with grace and poise. The composition exudes a sense of speed and movement as these magnificent creatures gallop across an ethereal landscape. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing both the power and elegance of these mythical beings. This print draws inspiration from "Stories from the Greek Tragedies" by Rev. Alfred J. Church, M. A. , published in 1880. It serves as a visual representation of an ancient tale steeped in religious significance and classical literature. Set against a black background, this portrait-like image creates a dramatic spectacle that highlights both its artistic merit and mythological subject matter. The use of color adds depth to the piece while evoking a heavenly atmosphere. "The Horses of the Morning" not only showcases Flaxman's talent but also pays homage to British artistry during the nineteenth century. This studio shot captures a moment frozen in time—a timeless reminder of our fascination with mythology and our enduring connection to ancient stories passed down through generations.
