EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour litho print, titled 'Theseus and the Minotaur, ' takes us on a journey into the realm of Greek mythology. Created by Merlyn Mann, a talented artist from the early 20th century, this artwork is part of a private collection that cherishes its historical significance. The image depicts an intense moment from the legendary tale of Theseus and the Minotaur. As described in Nathaniel Hawthorne's renowned works 'A Wonder Book' and 'Tanglewood Tales, ' this scene captures the essence of bravery and heroism. Theseus, a mythological figure known for his strength and cunning intellect, confronts the fearsome half-human, half-bull creature known as the Minotaur within its labyrinthine prison. Mann's skilful use of vibrant colours brings life to this ancient story. The intricate detailing showcases both Theseus' determination and courage as he wields his weapon against his formidable foe. This print serves as a visual reminder of humanity's fascination with mythology throughout history. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are reminded not only of these iconic characters but also of our collective interest in paganism and polytheism – belief systems that once held great sway over human societies. Through art like this lithograph, we can explore different religious perspectives while appreciating their cultural significance.
