EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Pegasus being starved into subjection" depicts a powerful and poignant scene from Greek mythology. Created by an unknown European artist in the 19th century, this print showcases Pegasus, the mythical winged horse, enduring a harrowing ordeal. The image portrays Pegasus as he is subjected to starvation in order to break his spirit and bring him under control. The artist skillfully captures the tension and suffering of the magnificent creature through intricate details and expressive lines. Pegasus' ribs are visible, emphasizing his emaciated state, while his wings droop dejectedly. This engraving was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated Exhibitor and Magazine of Art in 1852. It serves as a visual representation of one of many trials faced by mythological creatures throughout history – their struggle against human domination. The symbolism behind this artwork resonates deeply with themes such as power dynamics, oppression, and resilience. By showcasing Pegasus' vulnerability amidst cruelty, it prompts viewers to reflect on their own roles within society's systems of control. Preserved in a private collection today, this historic piece continues to captivate audiences with its evocative imagery. Through its meticulous craftsmanship and thought-provoking subject matter, "Pegasus being starved into subjection" invites us to contemplate our relationship with power and empathy towards those who suffer under its weight.
