EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Oceanides, Illustration from Promethee Enchaine by Aeschylus" takes us on a visual journey through the mythical world of ancient Greece. Created in 1941 by the talented artist Francois-Louis Schmied, this pochoir print beautifully captures the essence of Aeschylus' timeless play. In this enchanting scene, we find ourselves amidst a breathtaking landscape where majestic mountains meet the vast expanse of the sea. Above, billowing clouds dance across the sky, casting ethereal shadows upon the earth below. It is within this mystical setting that we encounter the Oceanides - sea nymphs who personify nature's raw power and beauty. As our eyes wander through this artwork, we cannot help but be drawn to Prometheus enchained at its center. Bound to a rock as punishment for his audacious act of stealing fire from Mount Olympus and giving it to humanity, Prometheus stands as a symbol of defiance against divine authority. The inclusion of meteorology and weather elements adds an intriguing layer to this composition. It reminds us that even in mythological realms, there exists an interconnectedness between nature's forces and human existence. With its rich symbolism and masterful execution, Schmied's illustration invites us into a world where mythology intertwines with science. This remarkable piece serves as both a testament to artistic skill and a reminder of humanity's eternal fascination with tales that explore our place in the natural order of things.
