EDITORS COMMENTS
This pochoir print, titled "Hermes, from Promethee Enchaine by Aeschylus" takes us on a journey into the realm of Greek mythology. Created in 1941 by the talented artist Francois-Louis Schmied, this exquisite artwork showcases Hermes, the winged messenger of the gods. With his majestic wings and iconic winged sandals, Hermes stands tall and proud as he holds his staff adorned with two intertwined serpents - the caduceus. His presence exudes power and grace, embodying the essence of divine communication and swift travel. The scene depicted here is inspired by Aeschylus' play "Promethee Enchaine" where Prometheus is bound to a rock as punishment for stealing fire from Zeus to give it to humanity. As an integral character in this mythological tale, Hermes serves as a mediator between gods and mortals. Schmied's masterful use of vibrant colors brings life to this mythical figure while capturing every intricate detail with precision. The pochoir technique employed enhances each brushstroke, creating depth and texture that mesmerizes any viewer. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from the Stapleton Collection, we are transported back in time to ancient Greece - a world filled with epic tales of gods and heroes. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with mythology and its timeless relevance in shaping human culture throughout history.
