Amazement In Flight Mythical Pointing
EDITORS COMMENTS
The Horse Pegasus, 1878 (litho) is a captivating print that transports us into the realm of Greek mythology. This stunning artwork, created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, depicts the legendary winged horse Pegasus. In Greek mythology, Pegasus was born from the sea god Poseidon and became a symbol of nobility and grace. The inspiration for this lithograph comes from a miniature found in a 15th-century manuscript called Enseignement de Vraye Noblesse (Instruction of True Nobility). It beautifully captures the essence of Pegasus as it soars through the sky with its majestic wings spread wide. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, showcasing their skillful technique. The horse's powerful muscles are defined as it propels itself forward, while its eyes gleam with amazement and intelligence. With one hoof delicately pointing downwards towards Earth, Pegasus seems to be guiding us towards new heights of imagination. This timeless piece not only celebrates mythological creatures but also highlights the significance of literature and science during medieval times. Published in London by Paul Lacroix's Science and Literature in the Middle Ages book, this lithograph has become an iconic representation of mythical wonder. Now available for viewing at Fine Art Finder courtesy of Ken Welsh's private collection, this print serves as a reminder that even centuries-old art can still inspire awe and captivate our imaginations.
