In a world where imagination intertwines with reality, mythical beasts come alive in the most captivating forms. Trotsky slaying the counter-revolutionary dragon, depicted in a powerful poster from 1918, symbolizes the triumph of revolution over oppression. Ulysses Deriding Polyphemus, an artwork by JMW Turner dating back to 1829 but recreated in 1904, showcases the cunning hero mocking the one-eyed giant. Walter Crane's Faerie Queene painting from around 1900 transports us to a realm of enchantment and chivalry. Meanwhile, an ancient Greek myth comes to life as Hercules brings Cerberus to Eurystheus under the watchful eyes of Hermes and Athena. The Temptation of Saint Anthony mesmerizes with its oil on canvas portrayal of unearthly creatures tempting a devout man's faith. A statue immortalizing Hercules' struggle against Cerberus stands tall as a testament to bravery and strength. Sakata Kintoki Wrestling with a Tengu by Torii Kiyomasu I captures an epic battle between legendary Japanese figures amidst swirling winds and fierce determination. Shirley Markham's Dante and Virgil with three-headed monster transports us into the depths of hell alongside these iconic literary characters. Robert Baden-Powell's design for Scouts Enrolment Card invokes adventure and camaraderie through its depiction of scouts exploring unknown territories. Leon Bakst's costume design for The Faun (Nijinsky) ignites our senses with vibrant colors and whimsical patterns that bring balletic movements to life. From ancient Greece to medieval times, we encounter gorgons guarding temples on Corfu while panthers prowl nearby. Lastly, The Unicorn is Killed and Brought to the Castle immerses us in a tapestry woven tale where magic meets tragedy. These glimpses into mythical realms remind us that within our collective imagination lies boundless creativity waiting to be unleashed.
