Artemis — The Orion Challenge
“Land among the stars”
- Era
- Archaic Greece
- Provenance
- The night sky, contested
- Medium
- Gilt plate on black cotton
- Edition
- Study collection — one of several impressions
Promotional print for an open challenge. Orion boasted he would hunt every beast on earth; he is now seasonal décor in the northern sky. Applicants are advised that the goddess considers this an invitation, not a warning.
Conservator’s note: gilt impression of a broadside the archive holds in several states. Which plate came first is a matter of internal dispute the committee has agreed to stop having in public.
