Vliegende krijger beschermt getekende mensen van een adelaar c. 1917

Charles Ricketts's "Vliegende krijger beschermt getekende mensen van een adelaar" (c. 1917) is a dramatic and visually striking artwork. The image depicts a winged warrior, soaring high above a group of people who appear to be in danger. The warrior is clad in flowing robes and wields a sword, seemingly protecting the people below from a menacing eagle. The use of bold lines and dramatic contrasts between light and dark creates a sense of urgency and action in this print. Ricketts's work often explored themes of heroism, mythology, and the human condition, all of which are present in this powerful and evocative piece.
