EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating illustration, titled "Boy Warrior with two Borzoi Hounds" takes us on a journey through ancient Greek mythology. Created by the talented artist Francois-Louis Schmied, this vibrant colour lithograph brings to life a scene from Homer's epic poem, L'Odyssee. In this enchanting artwork, we witness a young warrior accompanied by his loyal companions - two majestic Borzoi hounds. The boy exudes confidence as he walks with purpose, holding a sword in one hand and a walking stick in the other. His profile is striking against the backdrop of an art deco-inspired landscape. The attention to detail is exquisite; every stroke of Schmied's brush captures the essence of adventure and heroism that permeates Homer's timeless tale. The dogs stand tall and regal beside their master, embodying loyalty and protection. This print transports us back to an era where gods and goddesses reigned supreme, where mortals embarked on perilous quests filled with mythical creatures and daunting challenges. It serves as a reminder of our fascination with ancient legends that continue to captivate our imaginations today. Displayed proudly within private collections worldwide, this masterpiece stands as both homage to classical literature and testament to Schmied's artistic prowess. Its presence evokes admiration for the rich tapestry of human history while celebrating the enduring bond between man and beast.
