EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Henry Justice Ford depicts a dramatic scene from ancient Greek mythology. In the artwork titled "King Athamas Steals Nepheles Clothes so that she cannot Float away with her Sisters" we witness a pivotal moment in the legend. In this mythological tale, King Athamas seeks to prevent his wife Nephele and her sisters from escaping their earthly bonds and ascending to the heavens. As they possess magical powers allowing them to float away, Athamas cunningly steals Nephele's clothes, rendering her unable to join her sisters in flight. Ford's intricate illustration beautifully captures the intensity of this mythical event. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he portrays each character with precision and emotion. The viewer can almost feel the tension between Athamas and Nephele, as well as sense the desperation of her sisters witnessing their escape thwarted. The enchanting composition transports us back in time, immersing us into an ancient world filled with gods, heroes, and fantastical creatures. It serves as a reminder of how deeply embedded these myths were within Greek culture – tales passed down through generations that continue to captivate our imaginations today. This particular print was created for Andrew Lang's book "Tales of Troy and Greece" published by Longmans in 1907. Thanks to digital restoration techniques applied by Bridgeman Images, we are able to appreciate this work of art in all its glory while preserving its historical significance for future generations.
