EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating colour lithograph depicts the thrilling moment when Atalanta and Meleager successfully slay the ferocious wild boar of Caledon. Created by Henry Justice Ford, this print showcases his exceptional talent for bringing ancient myths to life. The scene is filled with action and intensity as Atalanta, known for her unmatched speed and agility, stands poised with her bow drawn back. Her eyes are focused on the charging boar, ready to release her arrow with deadly precision. Beside her stands Meleager, a renowned hunter famed for his strength and bravery. He grips his spear tightly, prepared to strike at any moment. The composition is rich in detail, from the lush foliage that surrounds them to the dramatic lighting that highlights their determined expressions. The colours chosen by Ford add depth and vibrancy to the scene, enhancing its mythical atmosphere. This artwork was originally created as an illustration for "The All Sorts of Stories Book" edited by Andrew Lang in 1911. It serves as a visual representation of one of many legends found within its pages. Ford's masterful interpretation captures not only the physicality of this legendary feat but also conveys a sense of triumph over adversity. This print is a testament to both Ford's artistic skill and his ability to bring ancient stories alive through imagery.
