EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) transports us to the idyllic landscapes of Italy, specifically Treviso. The image depicts a fascinating scene inspired by Greek mythology - Theseus and Pirithous playing dice for the beautiful Helen in 1831. The composition is filled with excitement as three individuals gather around a makeshift table on a sunny day. Theseus and Pirithous, both adorned in helmets, engage in an intense game of chance while Helen observes their every move. The majestic mountains serve as a breathtaking backdrop to this ancient tale brought to life through art. The artist, Odorico Politi (1785-1846), skillfully captures the essence of Greek mythology with his finely painted illustration. His attention to detail and mastery of 19th-century style transport viewers back in time, allowing them to immerse themselves fully into this mythical world. As we gaze upon this non-urban scene, we can't help but be captivated by the expressions on each character's face - anticipation mixed with luck fills the air. This painting serves not only as a testament to Politi's artistic talent but also as a reminder of the enduring power that myths hold over our imaginations. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply intrigued by Greek mythology, this print offers an opportunity for contemplation and appreciation for fine art at its finest.
