EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment from Jean Racine's tragic play, "Phedre". The illustration depicts Phaedra, Oenone, and Hippolytus in Act II Scene 5, engraved by Raphael Urbain Massard in 1824. The image showcases the intense emotions and forbidden love that permeate the story. Phaedra, portrayed with deep despair on her face, stands draped in a flowing toga while clutching a sword sheath. Her stepson Hippolytus looks on with anguish as he realizes the consequences of their illicit desires. Oenone, Phaedra's loyal nurse and confidante, gestures towards them with concern etched across her face. Dressed in neoclassical attire complete with sandals and cloak, she adds an element of dramatic tension to the scene. The composition is reminiscent of classical Greek and Roman artistry as it draws inspiration from mythological themes. In the background looms a statue of Diana the Huntress - symbolizing both purity and tragedy. Anne Louis Girodet de Roucy-Trioson masterfully brings this powerful moment to life through his skilled depiction of human emotion. The theatrical nature of the image transports viewers into the heart-wrenching world of "Phedre" where passion leads to destruction. Displayed at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France; this engraving serves as a timeless reminder of humanity's capacity for desire-driven downfall.
