EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment from Book XV of Homer's Iliad, beautifully illustrated in a French edition from 1751. The unknown artist skillfully depicts the scene where Jupiter, aware of Juno's deceitful plan, sends Apollo to revive Hector while he sleeps and rekindle the Trojans' courage. In this dramatic image, we witness Apollo dangerously tending to Hector's wounds as he lies unconscious. The artist masterfully portrays the intensity and tension of the moment, with intricate details that bring this ancient mythological tale to life. The Trojan soldiers are seen regaining their advantages over the Greeks and almost setting fire to their ships in a desperate attempt to turn the tide of battle. This engraving not only showcases the artistic talent of its creator but also serves as a testament to the enduring power and influence of Greek mythology on literature and art throughout history. It transports us back in time to an era filled with gods, heroes, deception, and epic battles. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from an anonymous 18th-century artist's private collection, we are reminded once again why these timeless stories continue to captivate our imaginations centuries later.
