Europa Goddess Classical Original Lino Art Print Monochrome
A handmade original print of the Goddess Europa, a Phoenician princess from Greek mythology after whom the continent of Europe is named.
The earliest reference to her is in the Iliad (circa 8th century BC). According to legend, Zeus transformed himself into a white bull in order to kidnap her and steal her away to Crete.
Her name has been used by the European Union as a symbol of pan-Europeanism.
This print would be the perfect gift for someone interested in classical mythology, and/or for someone interested in European history and unity!
This monochrome run of 'Europa' is a limited variable edition of 10.
This print is unframed.
The design is hand drawn directly onto a lino block, which is carved away using a gouge. The lino block is then inked, and printed in relief. Multi-colour prints are composed by transposing multiple blocks.
This is an original work of art, not a reproduction. The print is handmade, so colours and impression may vary to what you can see on screen, and between prints.
The actual print is approximately A4 size, and signed in pencil by the artist. Paper varies in exact size as it may have been hand cut.
Prints will be shipped in a cello bag inside a board backed envelope.
