EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning colour lithograph print captures the timeless tale of Pygmalion and Galatea, a story of love, art, and beauty from Ancient Greek mythology. In this image by Heinrich Hans Schlimarski, we see Pygmalion, a king and sculptor, gazing adoringly at the statue he created of his ideal woman, Galatea.
The mythological figure of Pygmalion is depicted here in all his romanticism as he falls deeply in love with his own creation. The intricate details in the sculpture highlight the skill and talent of the artist, bringing to life the moment when art transcends reality.
Galatea stands before us as a symbol of perfection and grace, embodying the ideals of ancient Greece's concept of beauty. Her nudity serves not only as a representation of artistic purity but also emphasizes her vulnerability as she becomes entwined in Pygmalion's love.
As we gaze upon this postcard from the early 20th century, we are transported back to a time when myths and legends held great significance in society. The image evokes feelings of wonder and admiration for both the artist's craftsmanship and the enduring power of love immortalized through art.
