EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Orestes is ordered by Apollo to go to Tauris and bring the statue of Artemis to Athens" transports us back in time to ancient Greece. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this mythological scene to life. In the image, we see Orestes, a heroic figure from Greek mythology, kneeling before Apollo as he receives his divine instructions. Apollo, with an air of authority and wisdom, commands Orestes to embark on a perilous quest: retrieving the sacred statue of Artemis from Tauris and bringing it back to Athens. The temple setting exudes grandeur and reverence. Priests stand nearby, observing the exchange between god and mortal. The presence of these religious figures emphasizes the significance of this mission not only for Orestes but also for the Athenians who worshiped Artemis. This artwork captures both the mythical elements of ancient Greek legend and its religious undertones. It serves as a reminder of how deeply intertwined mythology was with everyday life in that era—how gods intervened in human affairs through their chosen heroes. Through this lithograph's masterful execution by Artus Scheiner, we are transported into a world where mortals interacted directly with deities—a world where quests were undertaken at divine commandments. This print invites us to delve into Greek mythology's rich tapestry while marveling at its timeless allure.
