Notes regarding 1991 Mythology Calendar...
Vallejo's Bulfinch Behold a timeless world of gods and goddesses, fierce warriors and bewitching enchantresses, charmed beings and supernatural demons. Delving ever deeper into the subject of mythology for his 1991 calendar, fantasy artist Boris Vallejo retells in thirteen all-new paintings the tales of the ancient Greeks and Romans, Egyptians, Hindus, and mysterious Celts. Each month journey to the lone mountaintops and misty glades of legend, where swords gleam and muscles strain and death is the green-glazed eye of a web-footed monster. With fangs bared, the hounds of Actaeon spring upon their master-changed into a helpless stag by the virgin goddess arteries. Jason steals the Golden Fleece out from under the dragons guard. Aurora comes ravishingly to life with the dawn. From the snorting fury of the Erymanthian boar to the voluptuous grave of Aphrodite, Boris captures the poetry, tragedy, longing, and darkness of our world’s greatest myths.
