EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Alexandre Cabanel's masterpiece, "Phedre" painted in 1880. The oil on canvas artwork is housed in the Musee Fabre, Montpellier, France. In this legendary scene from Greek mythology, we witness Phedre lying down in her bedroom, surrounded by an atmosphere of gloom and despair. The academic style painting depicts a weary and tormented woman, watched over by attendants attending to her bedside. Phedre's nakedness symbolizes her vulnerability and guilt as she grapples with tragic circumstances. Her expression reflects deep unhappiness and anxiety. The composition exudes a sense of melancholy as the maid dutifully cleans the room while Phedre wrestles with her inner turmoil. The furniture and furnishings add to the classical ambiance of the chamber. Cabanel masterfully portrays Phedre's emotional torment through his meticulous brushwork and attention to detail. Every stroke conveys the weight of her guilt and suffering. This print invites us into a world where ancient myth intertwines with human emotions. It serves as a poignant reminder that even within grand narratives lies personal tragedy that can consume one's soul. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece for generations to appreciate its beauty and complexity without commercial use intentions.
