EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the monumental moment of "The Building of the Argo". The construction site is set on a picturesque beach, where the mighty ship takes shape under the watchful eyes of skilled craftsmen. On the left side, we witness the gradual transformation of raw materials into an impressive vessel that will soon conquer uncharted waters. A group of Argonauts stands on the quay, their gazes fixed upon the vast sea ahead. Their anticipation and determination are palpable as they prepare for their heroic voyage. In contrast to this scene, a few bathers enjoy a leisurely swim in the calm waters nearby. In the distance, two majestic columns form an entrance to a bay, adding architectural grandeur to this coastal landscape. Above them, Apollo drives his solar car through billowing clouds, casting ethereal light upon this remarkable endeavor. Throughout its creation process, Minerva occasionally lends her divine assistance to ensure perfection in every detail. Apollo himself guides his chariot drawn by four magnificent horses across heavenly skies while Aurora precedes him with her torch illuminating their path. This extraordinary artwork by Antoon Derkinderen beautifully captures both mythical elements and human ingenuity intertwined in one frame. It serves as a testament to mankind's relentless pursuit of exploration and adventure throughout history.
