EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Pelias Sending Forth Jason, 1880" takes us back to the realm of Greek mythology. The image beautifully captures a pivotal moment in the ancient tale, as Pelias, the king of Iolcus, sends forth Jason on his legendary quest for the Golden Fleece. The artist's skillful rendition transports us to a bygone era with its classical Greek setting and attire. Clad in a richly colored toga and adorned with a helmet and spear, Jason stands tall and resolute before Pelias. Their intense face-to-face encounter is frozen in time, symbolizing the weighty decision that will shape their destinies. The black background adds an air of mystery and drama to this studio shot, allowing our focus to be solely on these two central figures. The attention to detail is remarkable; every fold of fabric and expression on their faces tells a story. As we gaze upon this print from 19th-century Britain, we are reminded of the enduring power of ancient myths and legends. It serves as both an homage to classical literature and an artistic interpretation that brings these timeless characters to life once more. This stunning piece invites us into a world where gods meddle with mortals' lives and heroes embark on perilous quests. It sparks our imagination while paying tribute to Rev. Alfred J Church's collection "Stories from the Greek Tragedies". Through this artwork, we are transported across centuries into the realm of mythological warfare where honor clashes with ambition - an eternal struggle captured within this single frame.
