EDITORS COMMENTS
September: Goddess Demeter, by Sydney Carter (1903) This exquisite print showcases the revered Greek goddess Demeter, the deity of harvest, who presided over grains and the fertility of the earth. Depicted in the image is Demeter, mother of Persephone, as she stands amidst the bountiful harvest, her flowing robes adorned with intricate patterns and her expression filled with a sense of nurturing and abundance. Demeter was one of the most important goddesses in the ancient Greek pantheon, and her mythology is deeply rooted in the agricultural cycle. The story of Demeter and her daughter Persephone is a tale of love, loss, and the passage of time. When Persephone was abducted by Hades, the god of the underworld, Demeter's grief caused the earth to wither, leading to a famine. The gods intervened, and Persephone was allowed to return to her mother for part of the year, bringing new life and growth with her. Sydney Carter's depiction of Demeter in September captures the essence of this goddess, her strength and beauty embodied in the rich autumnal colors and the abundance of the harvest. The artist's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth and texture to the image, making it a timeless piece of historical art. This print, created in 1903, is a testament to the enduring power of mythology and the human connection to the natural world. It serves as a reminder of the cycles of life and the importance of appreciating the beauty and bounty of each season.
