About this artwork

This artwork is part of the Senses Myth Series that depicts myths from round the world with similar symbolism and combines them with one of the 6 senses.

The Red Hand of Ulster, This tale tells of a chieftain who cut off his hand and threw it ashore to claim the land of Ulster, with the red hand becoming a symbol of courage and determination.

In medieval European folklore, the Scarlet King is a tyrannical ruler with a red, blood-stained hand. This… red hand is often said to be the mark of a curse or the embodiment of his power over life and death. The king’s red hand represents violence, guilt, and the bloodshed he causes in his conquest for power

In one of Heracles’ labours, he kills the many-headed hydra. As he defeats the hydra, the blood from the creature, described as a venomous red, stains Heracles’ hands, symbolising both the horror of his task and his divine strength. The red on his hands represents both the physical labor of the task and the bloodshed.
