EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "Hera has sent us a pilot; let us follow the cunning bird" transports viewers into the epic tale of how the Argonauts sailed to Colchis. Created by artist Howard Davie, this colour lithograph brings to life Charles Kingsley's renowned work, The Heroes of Greek Fairy Tales. The scene depicted showcases a pivotal moment in the heroes' expedition. A majestic ship navigates through treacherous crags and narrow passages as it follows a cunning heron, believed to be sent by Hera herself. The hero Jason and his fellow Argonauts strain at their oars, rowing with determination and purpose. Divine protection is palpable in this image as Tiphys, the skilled helmsman, guides them through dangerous waters. With every stroke of their oarsmen's efforts and Orpheus' enchanting melodies filling the air, they face peril head-on but remain undeterred. The tension is heightened as a moving rock threatens to crush their vessel while wandering blue rocks surround them ominously. Yet amidst these dangers lies hope - Juno watches over them from above. This artwork captures both the physical challenges faced during this legendary journey and highlights the importance of trust in divine guidance. It serves as an inspiring reminder that even in times of great danger and uncertainty, courage can lead one towards triumph against all odds. Bridgeman Images presents this extraordinary print from its private collection for enthusiasts seeking transportive art that encapsulates ancient tales
