EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Iroquois creation myth through a stunning oil on canvas painting by Ernest Smith. Titled "IROQUOIS CREATION MYTH. Sky Woman" this artwork transports viewers into the realm of American folklore and storytelling. The painting depicts an intricate scene from the Iroquois creation myth, where Sky Woman plays a central role. According to legend, she falls from heaven and is caught by geese who gently lower her onto the back of a giant turtle floating in the vast ocean. This turtle becomes the foundation for land, symbolizing the birth of Earth itself. Smith's masterful brushstrokes bring this ancient tale to life with vibrant colors and meticulous details. The towering tree reaching towards heaven serves as a visual bridge between realms, connecting sky and earth in perfect harmony. Through this artwork, we are reminded of our connection to nature and how different cultures have interpreted their origins throughout history. The Iroquois creation myth not only explains how their world came into being but also emphasizes respect for all living beings. As part of Granger Art on Demand's collection, this fine art print allows us to appreciate both the artistic skill behind Smith's work and its cultural significance within Native American traditions. It invites us to delve deeper into these rich narratives that continue to shape our understanding of humanity's place in the universe.
