EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Bellerophon killing the Chimera" we are transported back to ancient Rome, where a legendary battle unfolds. The scene depicts Bellerophon, a hero of Greek mythology, bravely facing off against the fearsome Chimera. The artist, Sellier P. , skillfully captures the intensity and drama of this epic encounter. With every brushstroke, he brings to life the monstrous creature with its lion's head, goat's body, and serpent's tail. Its fiery breath engulfs the air as it lunges towards Bellerophon with menacing intent. Bellerophon himself is portrayed as a valiant warrior on horseback. Clad in Roman armor and armed with spear and shield, he fearlessly charges at his formidable foe. His steed rears up in defiance as they both confront their adversary head-on. This artwork is an illustration from Victor Duruy's "History of Rome" published in 1884. It serves as a visual representation of one of Rome's most cherished mythological tales - an embodiment of bravery and triumph over evil. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we cannot help but be drawn into the timeless struggle between good and evil that has fascinated civilizations for centuries. It reminds us that even in our modern world, these ancient stories continue to inspire us with their enduring themes of courage and heroism.
