EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Jupiter sending Mercury to remind Aeneas of his duty" transports us into the realm of ancient mythology. Created by Heinrich Kley in the early 20th century, this print captures a pivotal moment from Vergil's epic poem, Aeneid. In the image, we witness Jupiter, the king of gods in Roman mythology, dispatching his messenger Mercury to deliver an important message to Aeneas. With its intricate detailing and masterful use of shading and lines, Kley's drawing brings this mythological scene to life. The majestic eagle perched on Jupiter's arm symbolizes power and authority while serving as a reminder of Zeus' (Jupiter) Greek origins. As Mercury takes flight towards Earth with wings on his heels and cap symbolizing swiftness, he carries out his divine mission. This artwork not only showcases Kley's skill as a draughtsman but also highlights the enduring allure of classical mythology. It invites viewers to immerse themselves in a world where gods and goddesses interact with mortals and shape their destinies. As we gaze upon this lithograph from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of humanity's fascination with ancient legends that continue to captivate our imagination even today. Through art like this piece by Heinrich Kley, these timeless stories are brought back to life for us all to appreciate and contemplate.
