EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic scene from the renowned epic poem, "Stories from Virgil". Depicting the tragic fate of Laocoon and his sons, it showcases the incredible talent of Reverend Alfred J. Church, M. A. , who skillfully brought this ancient Greek myth to life. Illustrated by Bartolomeo Pinelli's exquisite designs, this particular image was published in London in 1879 by Seeley, Jackson & Halliday. In Greek mythology, Laocoon was a Trojan priest who played a crucial role during the Trojan War. Here we witness his ill-fated warning to his fellow Trojans about accepting the infamous Trojan Horse gifted by their Greek enemies as a deceitful ploy. As punishment for his defiance and attempt to save his people from impending doom, gods unleash giant serpents upon him and his innocent sons. The intensity of this moment is palpable as the snakes coil around Laocoon and entangle him with their deadly grip while simultaneously attacking his helpless children. The anguish on their faces tells a harrowing tale of sacrifice and despair. Through this powerful visual representation, whitemay's artistry transports us back to an era where myths held great significance in shaping cultural narratives. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern world, timeless stories continue to captivate our imagination and provoke deep reflection on themes such as betrayal, heroism, and divine intervention.
