The River of Lethe – oil on canvas – 80 x 60 cm – 2024
This painting depicts one of the two the sacred rivers that ran through the underworld, according to Ancient Greek myth. To drink from the Lethe would make you forget about the life you just led and you would reincarnate into the world, oblivious of your past life. If you drank from the other river, the Mnemosyne, you would remember the life you had led and you progressed into Paradise.
The theme then is the forgetting of ones true self as we become lost in the world of form, and the process of remembering, of waking up, as the soul learns of its true nature.

The River of Lethe
Fantastisch mooie set met kaarten van mijn favoriete kunstenaar! I love this stunning Anu print ! It was packaged well and delivery was speedy, thank you. The quality of this print is astounding; I have wanted one of Jake's prints for a long time, it was better than I had hoped!
