Peri, a mystical and enchanting creature that has captivated the imaginations of artists and storytellers throughout history. From the vibrant world of LA Peri to the mesmerizing performances by Ballet Russes, this ethereal being has left its mark on culture. In Wells, Vicar's Close Alms Houses, during the Victorian period, one can almost envision a graceful Peri dancing through time. And in Egypt's Alexandria stands Cleopatra's Needle, an ancient monument from the same era that adds an air of mystery to this already enigmatic figure. "The Treasure from the watercolour" portrays Paradise and the Peri as if plucked straight out of a dream. Meanwhile, Newbridge near Duxford River Thames takes us back to Victorian times where we can imagine Puck and Peri frolicking along its banks. The image of an Angel (Peri) Riding a Composite Camel transports us to another realm entirely. Created by an unknown artist around 1700, it showcases both creativity and imagination in equal measure. Similarly, "King Solomon and a Peri" painted in 1570 with gouache and gold paint on paper tells a tale steeped in mythology. An airborne peri with a rosary depicted around 1500 captures our attention with its delicate beauty. The use of opaque watercolor and gold on paper creates an otherworldly effect that is hard to resist. Carved from marble in 1859 is "Peri at the Gates of Paradise, " modeled five years prior. This stunning sculpture brings forth visions of heavenly realms intertwined with mortal existence - truly captivating. Through engravings like "Paradise and the Peri, " this mythical creature continues to inspire awe even centuries later. Its allure remains timeless as it dances between worlds. Whether portrayed as an angelic being or riding atop camels through fantastical landscapes, these depictions remind us that there is more than meets the eye.
