EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Family of Priam after the Departure of Hector" takes us back to ancient Greece and immerses us in a poignant episode from Homer's Iliad. The engraving, created by Angelo Monticelli in Milan around 1820, beautifully captures the emotions and worries that permeate this scene. In this image, we witness the aftermath of Hector's departure from Troy to face his fate on the battlefield. The family patriarch, Priam, stands with a somber expression as he contemplates his son's perilous journey. His furrowed brow reflects both anxiety for Hector's safety and concern for the future of their beloved city. Surrounding Priam are other members of his family - mothers, sisters, wives - each bearing expressions filled with worry and sorrow. Their eyes gaze into the distance as they bid farewell to their brave warrior. This moment encapsulates not only individual grief but also collective apprehension for what lies ahead in this devastating Trojan War. Monticelli skillfully uses color engraving techniques to bring life to every detail within this composition. From flowing garments adorned with intricate patterns to architectural elements reminiscent of ancient Greek architecture, each element contributes to an authentic portrayal of this historical event. "The Family of Priam after the Departure of Hector" is a powerful reminder that even amidst great battles and heroic deeds, there exists deep human emotion and vulnerability. It serves as a testament to our shared experiences across time and cultures – reminding us that
