EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hamadraid - Spirit of a Tree" takes us back to the enchanting world of Greek mythology. Created in 1890 by Arthur Wardle, this artwork showcases his mastery in combining pastel, pencil, and watercolor on paper. Measuring 20x10 cm, it is a small yet powerful piece that resides in a private collection. The image captures the essence of a Hamadraid, an ethereal nymph-like creature believed to be bound to trees. In this scene, we witness her delicate form intertwined with the majestic woodlands she calls home. The artist's attention to detail brings forth every nuance of her mythical presence. A snake slithers gracefully around her body, symbolizing temptation and alluding to Eve from biblical lore. This juxtaposition between Greek mythology and Christian symbolism adds depth and complexity to the narrative portrayed within this artwork. The Hamadraid stands as an embodiment of nature's spirit; her nudity representing vulnerability and purity while also emphasizing our connection with the natural world. Through this piece, Wardle invites us into a realm where mythological beings coexist harmoniously with their surroundings. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print captured by Peter Nahum at The Leicester Galleries in London, we are transported into an otherworldly landscape filled with wonder and intrigue—a testament to both artistic skill and timeless storytelling.
