EDITORS COMMENTS
This color lithograph print by George Soper depicts a poignant moment from the mythological tale of Perseus. Titled "And away and out to sea floated the mother and her babe" the artwork beautifully captures a scene filled with both sorrow and hope. In this illustration for Charles Kingsley's book, The Heroes, we witness Perseus' mother floating on a makeshift raft with her newborn baby. The composition exudes an ethereal quality as they drift away into the vastness of the sea. The soft colors and delicate lines evoke a sense of tranquility amidst their uncertain fate. The image serves as a powerful reminder of sacrifice, resilience, and maternal love. As Perseus' mother faces imminent danger from King Polydectes, she makes the heart-wrenching decision to protect her child at all costs. With no other option left, she sets adrift in hopes of finding safety for herself and her precious babe. Soper's skillful rendering brings this ancient Greek fairy tale to life once again. It invites us to reflect on timeless themes such as heroism, destiny, and familial bonds that transcend time and culture. This remarkable piece not only showcases Soper's artistic prowess but also pays homage to classical mythology while capturing our imagination with its evocative storytelling.
