EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Real and Ideal" transports us back to the 19th century, where an English artist found inspiration in a peculiar sight at the Zoological Gardens. The artwork, now part of a private collection, was originally published as an illustration for The Graphic on May 18th, 1889. The image takes us into the realm of imagination as we witness the artist's suggestion upon seeing the new manatee at the zoo. In this enchanting scene, reality merges with fantasy as mermaids gracefully swim alongside these gentle sea cows. It is a delightful blend of real and ideal worlds that sparks our curiosity and ignites our creativity. The artist skillfully captures the essence of wonderment through intricate details and masterful strokes. Each element within this composition tells a story – from the majestic presence of the manatees to the ethereal beauty of mermaids gliding through turquoise waters. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of art's ability to transport us beyond our everyday lives. It encourages us to explore new possibilities and embrace our own imaginations. Let "Real and Ideal" serve as a reminder that art has no bounds or limitations; it allows us to transcend reality and embark on extraordinary journeys within our minds.
