EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Circe sends the Swine (The Companions of Ulysses) to the Styes" artist Henry Justice Ford brings to life a scene from ancient Greek mythology. The print, now part of a private collection, depicts the powerful sorceress Circe as she casts her spell on Ulysses' companions, transforming them into swine. With intricate detail and skillful technique, Ford captures the moment when Circe commands her newly transformed swine-like creatures towards their fate in the styes. The composition exudes an eerie atmosphere, enhanced by dark shadows and dramatic lighting that heighten the mythical ambiance. This enchanting illustration originally accompanied Andrew Lang's "Tales of Troy and Greece" published by Longmans in 1907. Digitally cleaned for preservation purposes, this restored image allows viewers to appreciate Ford's artistry while immersing themselves in one of Homer's most famous tales. The legend of Circe has fascinated readers for centuries with its themes of transformation and temptation. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the enduring power that myths hold over our imagination. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are transported back to ancient Greece where gods and goddesses ruled supreme and mortals were at their mercy. Bridgeman Images presents us with yet another masterpiece from their Fine Art Finder collection – a visual treasure trove that continues to inspire awe and wonderment among art enthusiasts worldwide.
