EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Mythological scene with Artemis the huntress" we are transported to a world of ancient Greek mythology. The renowned artist, R. Caldecott, masterfully captures a poignant moment between Artemis and a small winged child. Artemis, known as the goddess of the hunt and wilderness, stands tall and majestic in her flowing robes. Her bow is held firmly in hand, symbolizing her prowess as a skilled archer. However, her expression reveals an unmistakable displeasure towards the small child beside her. The winged child appears sullen and sorrowful, his downturned eyes reflecting remorse for having killed a hare. It seems that his actions have incurred Artemis' disapproval - perhaps she values all creatures equally or believes in hunting only for sustenance rather than sport. This evocative scene beautifully portrays the complex relationship between humans and nature within Greek mythology. It serves as a reminder that our actions can have consequences beyond what we initially perceive. Printed by Edmund Evans using intricate engraving techniques, this artwork showcases both technical skill and artistic vision. Published by G. Routledge & Sons in London around 1883, it continues to captivate viewers with its timeless portrayal of mythological themes. Whitemay's Fine Art Storehouse offers us an opportunity to appreciate this remarkable piece of artistry from centuries past – an enchanting window into ancient tales that still resonate today.
