EDITORS COMMENTS
Andromaque and Pyrrhus in an Emotional Set-to: A Dramatic Moment from Racine's Tragedy (1667) This evocative print captures a pivotal moment from Jean Racine's tragic play, Andromaque (Andromache), first performed in Paris in 1667. The scene depicts Andromache (left), the grief-stricken widow of Hector, being confronted by Pyrrhus (right), the vengeful son of Neoptolemus, who demands her submission and love. Racine's play, based on the mythological story from Homer's Iliad, is a powerful exploration of love, loss, and vengeance. Andromaque, having been promised to Pyrrhus as a reward for his military victory, is torn between her deep affection for him and her loyalty to her late husband, Hector. Pyrrhus, driven by his desire for vengeance against the Trojans and his need for Andromache's love, becomes increasingly desperate and violent in his pursuit. This emotional set-to between Andromache and Pyrrhus is a testament to the intensity and complexity of Racine's drama. Andromache, with tears streaming down her face, pleads with Pyrrhus to spare her and her son, while Pyrrhus, consumed by rage and desire, refuses to listen. The contrasting expressions on their faces, the dramatic lighting, and the intricate details of their costumes all contribute to the sense of tension and passion that permeates the scene. Racine's Andromaque was a groundbreaking work in the history of French theatre, and this print offers a glimpse into the rich emotional world of this classic tragedy. The print's historical significance, combined with its powerful visual impact, makes it a valuable addition to any collection of theatre or art history.
