EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Jason tore the fleece from off the tree-trunk" we are transported into the mythical world of ancient Greece. The artwork, a vibrant colour lithograph by Howard Davie, depicts a pivotal moment from Charles Kingsley's renowned book, "How the Argonauts sailed to Colchis". Amidst a lush grove sacred to Ares, Jason stands tall and resolute as he bravely tears away the golden fleece from an imposing tree trunk. Surrounded by towering oaks and with a snake slithering at his feet, Jason's determination is palpable. This scene captures both adventure and danger in equal measure. The illustration beautifully combines elements of mythology and nature, showcasing Davie's skillful artistry. The intricate details bring life to each figure present - be it the serpent coiling around Jason or the ram symbolizing his quest for glory. As viewers delve into this enchanting image, they can almost feel themselves being transported alongside Jason on his heroic journey. It serves as a reminder of our fascination with classical tales that have captivated generations throughout history. This stunning piece is part of a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection and showcases how art can breathe new life into timeless stories. Without mentioning commercial use or any specific company affiliation, Bridgeman Images has once again provided us with an exquisite glimpse into artistic mastery through their Fine Art Finder platform.
