EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Mighty was he to look upon" transports viewers back in time to the ancient world of Babylonia and Assyria. Illustrated by Evelyn Paul in 1916, this color lithograph is a visual representation from the book "Myths and Legends of Babylonia and Assyria" by Lewis Spence. In this scene, we witness the awe-inspiring power of Merodach as he embarks on a perilous mission to slay Tiawath, the dragon of the Sea. The image showcases Merodach's immense strength and determination as he prepares for battle against this monstrous creature. The artist skillfully captures the essence of Mesopotamian mythology, with horses pulling Merodach's carriage into an epic clash between good and evil. The forked lightning illuminates their confrontation, symbolizing not only their physical fight but also representing cosmic forces at play. This artwork evokes a sense of wonderment as it combines elements of science and fiction. It invites us to explore themes such as anger, conflict, bravery, and even touches upon meteorology with its depiction of weather phenomena. "Mighty was he to look upon" serves as a reminder that myths are not merely tales from ancient times; they continue to captivate our imagination today. This stunning illustration transports us into a fantastical world where gods battle monsters while exploring human emotions like rage and bitterness.
