EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Horus in battle" takes us back to the ancient world of Egypt, as depicted in Lewis Spence's book, The Myths of Ancient Egypt. Created by Evelyn Paul in 1917 using a color lithograph technique, this artwork showcases the fierce and epic battle between Horus and his enemy Set. In this illustration, we witness Horus wielding a magic harpoon with great determination and strength. With falcons soaring above him amidst cloudy skies, he prepares to strike down Set, symbolizing the eternal struggle between good and evil. The battlefield is filled with intensity as Horus confronts his adversary on this mythical battleground. A hippopotamus lurks nearby, representing chaos that must be conquered for order to prevail. This scene from Egyptian mythology captures the essence of combat and heroism within their rich culture. Evelyn Paul's attention to detail brings life to each element portrayed in this piece – from the intricate feathers of the birds to every stroke defining Horus' warrior-like features. It serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with ancient tales that have shaped our understanding of history. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from The Stapleton Collection, we are transported into an era where gods walked among mortals and battles were fought not only on physical grounds but also within one's soul.
