EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Sébastien-Louis-Guillaume Norblin de la Gourdaine, a renowned French artist from the 19th century.

The image depicts a dramatic scene where Castor and Pollux, prominent figures from Greek mythology known as the Dioscuri, are seen rescuing Helen of Troy. The intricate details and delicate strokes bring life to this mythological tale, capturing the intensity of the moment. Norblin's mastery is evident through his skillful use of light and shadow, creating depth and dimension within each figure.
