EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph, artist Howard Davie invites us to confront a fearsome creature of ancient mythology. The print titled "Dare you face such a monster as this?" transports us into the realm of Greek fairy tales, specifically Charles Kingsley's "The Heroes". As we gaze upon the image, we witness Perseus kneeling before Medusa, one of the most notorious Gorgons in Greek mythology. The young hero's expression reveals both determination and trepidation as he prepares to challenge this monstrous deity. With his shield raised high and sword at the ready, Perseus embodies bravery in the face of danger. The vibrant colors bring life to this mythological scene, allowing us to immerse ourselves fully in its fantastical world. Davie's illustration captures not only the physicality but also the essence of these ancient tales. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern lives, we too may encounter metaphorical monsters that test our courage and resilience. Just like Perseus vowed a rash vow to slay Medusa, sometimes we must make bold promises or take risks on our own heroic journeys. This print from "The Heroes" is an enchanting addition to any collection of classical illustrations or children's books. It reminds us of timeless stories passed down through generations and encourages us to embrace adventure with unwavering determination – just as Perseus did when facing such a formidable foe.
