1989 Mythology Calendar

THE VALLEJO PANTHEON For his 10th anniversary calendar Boris Vallejo devotes himself to the on subject he was destined to paint: our mythology cal past. In thirteen magnificent new paintings he depicts the magical time when gods and goddesses: roamed the earth, heroes performed their superhuman deeds, enchantresses lured men to their death, and fantastic monsters ravaged the countryside. Hercules triumphs bare¬ handed over the three headed hound of hell; a pair of fearless Valkyries ride their snorting mounts into battle; Cirrus soars tragically into the sun; Galatea, a statue more sensual than any woman, is transformed into Pygmalion’s flesh-and-blood mate. Inspired by the ageless tales of classical Greece and imperial Rome, ancient Africa, Peru, Israel, and the barbaric lands of the north, the master of fantasy art finds his ideal subject.
