EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Suddenly a thunderbolt fell before his horse's forefeet" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a dramatic moment in history. The artwork, created by an English School artist, is now part of a private collection and has been digitally cleaned for enhanced clarity. The image depicts a powerful scene from Greek mythology, possibly inspired by the legendary city of Troy. As we gaze at the print, our attention is immediately drawn to the intense action unfolding before us. A majestic horse rears up in fear as a thunderbolt crashes down just inches away from its trembling forefeet. The artist skillfully captures the raw energy and tension of this pivotal moment. The viewer can almost feel the electric charge in the air and hear the deafening crackle of lightning. It is as if time stands still for that split second when nature unleashes its fury upon these ancient lands. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for Chatterbox magazine in 1882, showcasing how art can bring stories to life with vivid imagery. Through this piece, we are reminded of humanity's fascination with mythology and our eternal quest to understand forces beyond our control. As we admire this striking artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let it serve as a reminder that even amidst chaos and uncertainty, there is beauty to be found in both art and nature alike.
