EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas painting, titled "Souls by the Styx" created by the talented artist Burne-Jones, takes us on a mesmerizing journey into the depths of mythology and spirituality. The monochrome black and white palette adds an ethereal touch to this hauntingly beautiful artwork. In this piece, we witness a group of pale and vulnerable souls shivering in darkness as they embark on their treacherous voyage across the mythical river Styx. Their nakedness symbolizes their stripped mortality, while also showcasing their embracing vulnerability in the face of death. The pre-Raphaelite style is evident in every brushstroke, capturing intricate details with precision. Each figure huddles together for warmth and support, seeking solace amidst the cold embrace of Hades' realm. The artist's attention to detail allows us to feel their fear and uncertainty as they navigate through this afterlife journey. As we gaze upon this painting, we are reminded of our own mortality and contemplate what lies beyond our earthly existence. It serves as a powerful reminder that even in death's grasp, there is beauty to be found within mythological tales. "Souls by the Styx" invites us to delve into our own spirituality and ponder life's mysteries. It stands as a testament to Burne-Jones' skillful artistry and his ability to capture profound emotions within his work. This print from Fine Art Finder is truly a remarkable piece that will leave viewers captivated by its depth and symbolism.
