EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Circes Palace: 'Begone to your sty' cried the enchantress" transports us into a world of ancient Greek mythology. Created by George Soper, this artwork captures a pivotal moment from the renowned Tanglewood Tales published in the 1920s. In this scene, we witness Circe, an enchantress of great power and beauty, commanding Ulysses to leave her palace with a forceful declaration: "Begone to your sty". The intricate costumes worn by the characters add depth and authenticity to their portrayal, immersing us further into this mythical realm. As our eyes wander through the image, we notice that Circe's magic has transformed Ulysses' companions into pigs. This magical element adds intrigue and suspense to the narrative as we wonder how Ulysses will overcome these obstacles on his journey back home. This engraving not only showcases Soper's artistic talent but also serves as a visual representation of timeless myths and legends that have been passed down through generations. It reminds us of humanity's fascination with folklore and its ability to transport us beyond our ordinary lives. Displayed in private collections worldwide, this print from Bridgeman Images is a testament to the enduring allure of Greek mythology and its continued influence on art throughout history.
