Gettin all Fancy Pants Scholarly on us!!!
Beautiful piece,with the movement and composition driving it forward...
You can almost feel their hooves swinging and nostrils flaring!
A large majority of artists these days have no grasp of history and/or especially art history,which saddens my heart!
it's great that you're actually reading these old myths and translating them for our times!
here's one you could tackle....
PHALARIS'S BULL(sometimes attributed to Agamemnon (sp?)
a furnace shaped like a bull into which the tyrant Phalaris used to cast his victims.
There was a special instrument in the mouth that would make the moans and screams of the victims
into the sound of a roaring Bull...
No junk food eating TV-addled contemporary brain could think up that!
Pure Wicked Genius! Very Impressive my friend!
