EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Herbert James Draper's masterpiece, "Lamia" created around 1909. Painted with oil on canvas, this artwork measures 127x69 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The image depicts the mythical character Lamia, who was originally a snake but transformed into a stunningly beautiful woman according to John Keats' poem from 1819. Draper's skillful brushwork brings out the enchanting allure of Lamia as she gazes into the distance with an air of mystery. The artist masterfully captures her delicate features and ethereal presence, emphasizing her transformation from reptile to human form. The photograph itself was taken by eWhitford & Hughes in London, UK. This particular print is part of Bridgeman Images' extensive collection and represents an English work that has entered the public domain due to its age. With elements such as poppies scattered around her feet and references to sorcery and witchcraft, this painting delves into themes of magic and metamorphosis. Lamia's nudity adds another layer of vulnerability and sensuality to the composition while highlighting her otherworldly nature. Overall, this mesmerizing image invites viewers to explore the realms of mythology through Draper's artistic interpretation while celebrating both his talent as a painter and Keats' enduring poetic legacy.
