EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jean Francois de Troy's masterpiece, "Jason Taming the Bulls of Aeetes" painted in 1742. The oil on canvas artwork measures 55.3x128.9 cm and is currently housed at The Henry Barber Trust within The Barber Institute of Fine Arts at the University of Birmingham. In this scene, we witness Jason, a heroic figure from Greek mythology, bravely confronting and subduing the formidable bulls of Aeetes. With his armor gleaming under the sunlight amidst classical ruins, Jason's determination shines through as he fearlessly tames these powerful creatures. The painting serves as a sketch for a larger piece displayed in Musee Crozatier in Le Puy. It beautifully captures the essence of Ovid's metamorphoses and exemplifies de Troy's exceptional talent for storytelling through art. The intricate design elements hint at its potential use as inspiration for tapestry creation. Every brushstroke brings life to this dramatic moment where mythological heroism meets artistic mastery. As we admire this remarkable work by Jean Francois de Troy, it reminds us that art has no boundaries or limitations when it comes to immortalizing timeless tales and celebrating human achievements throughout history.
