EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Mighty was he to look upon, 1916" transports us back in time to the ancient lands of Babylonia and Assyria. Created by the talented artist Evelyn Paul, this artwork is a vivid illustration from Lewis Spence's renowned book, Myths and Legends of Babylonia and Assyria. In this mesmerizing image, we witness a momentous confrontation between Merodach, also known as Marduk, the supreme deity of Babylonian mythology, and Tiawath, the fearsome dragon of the sea. The clash between these two mythical creatures symbolizes an epic battle between good and evil. Evelyn Paul's masterful use of color brings life to this historical scene. The vibrant hues enhance our perception of the divine power exuded by Merodach as he fearlessly faces his formidable adversary. With every brushstroke meticulously placed, Paul captures both the awe-inspiring strength possessed by Merodach and the terrifying presence emanating from Tiawath. This artwork not only showcases Evelyn Paul's artistic prowess but also serves as a window into ancient Mesopotamian religion and mythology. It invites us to explore their rich cultural heritage while marveling at their belief in powerful deities who could confront even the most monstrous creatures. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection, we are reminded that myths transcend time and continue to captivate our imagination today.
