EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning colour lithograph of the Lernaean Hydra, created by the German School in the 19th century. The image takes us back to ancient Greek mythology, depicting a fierce battle scene between brave soldiers and this monstrous beast. With swords raised high and helmets gleaming, these valiant warriors confront the hydra with unwavering determination. The artwork also features an intriguing second image portraying a clash between the legendary Amazons. This illustration is inspired by Greek vase painting, showcasing twelve powerful female figures engaged in combat. It serves as a testament to the strength and prowess of women throughout history. Both images are beautifully captured on Greek vases, which were renowned for their intricate designs and storytelling abilities. They depict scenes from various mythological tales involving heroes like Hercules and goddesses such as Athena. The fine details of this print allow us to appreciate not only the artistry but also gain insight into ancient Greek culture and beliefs. From shields adorned with serpents to majestic chariots pulled by magnificent horses, every element tells a story steeped in rich historical significance.
