EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating litho print titled "Jason and the Argonauts: 'While they lay sleeping, came down on them terrible men'" transports us into a mythical world filled with adventure and danger. Created by George Soper (1870-1942), this artwork is part of a private collection. The scene depicted in the litho print is inspired by Charles Kingsley's book, The Heroes. As we gaze upon the image, we witness Jason and his fellow Argonauts peacefully slumbering under a starlit sky. Little do they know that lurking in the shadows are formidable adversaries ready to strike at any moment. Soper's intricate details bring this ancient Greek tale to life. The tension is palpable as we anticipate the impending clash between these unsuspecting heroes and their mysterious assailants. Through his masterful use of light and shadow, Soper captures both the vulnerability of sleepers and the menace of their approaching foes. This artwork not only celebrates mythology but also explores themes such as bravery, resilience, and perseverance in the face of adversity. It serves as a reminder that even during moments of rest or tranquility, challenges may arise unexpectedly. As we contemplate this mesmerizing litho print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let our imagination soar alongside Jason and his comrades on their epic quest for glory amidst an ancient world steeped in mythological wonders.
