EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating lithograph, titled "Perseus saw them dancing around the charmed tree" transports us into the enchanting world of Greek mythology. Created by Howard Davie, this print is part of The Heroes of Greek Fairy Tales series illustrated by Charles Kingsley. In this scene, Perseus, a legendary hero from ancient Greece, gazes upon a group of young women known as nymphs. They joyfully dance around a magnificent tree adorned with garlands and golden fruit. The air is filled with an aura of carefree adventure and youthful exuberance. The botanical elements in the artwork highlight the importance of nature in Greek culture. Lush flowers bloom at the foot of the tree while a snake slithers nearby, adding an element of both danger and fascination to the composition. Davie's skillful use of color brings life to this mythological tale. The vivid hues evoke feelings of joy and wonderment as we witness these mythical beings come alive on paper. This lithograph serves as a visual representation that captures not only our imagination but also our curiosity about ancient tales passed down through generations. It reminds us that even today, these timeless stories continue to captivate audiences worldwide through books and illustrations like those found within Charles Kingsley's collection.
