EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Pegasus, a legendary creature from Greek mythology. Created by Jacopo de Barbari between 1509 and 1516, this engraving measures an impressive 155.5x22.4 cm and is housed in the prestigious Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Pegasus, with its majestic wings spread wide, stands as a symbol of untamed beauty and mythical power. This depiction captures the essence of this winged horse's wild nature and classical allure. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a realm where legends come alive. In Greek mythology, Pegasus was born from the blood of Medusa when she was slain by Perseus. Known for his association with Bellerophontes, Pegasus became an emblem of heroism and adventure. His ability to fly enabled him to carry heroes into battle or transport them across vast distances. The artist's intricate drawing skillfully portrays every detail of Pegasus' muscular form and flowing mane while conveying a sense of movement frozen in time. The rearing pose emphasizes his strength and vitality. This remarkable piece not only celebrates the mythological significance of Pegasus but also highlights our enduring fascination with horses as magnificent creatures that have captivated mankind throughout history. As we admire this print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, let us be reminded of the timeless appeal that myths hold over our imaginations—a testament to their enduring power even centuries after they were first conceived
