EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving, titled "Scene from 'Medea in Corinth, '" transports viewers back to the Lyceum Theatre in 1872. Created by David Henry Friston, this print captures a pivotal moment in the play Medea, as it was performed on stage. The scene is filled with intensity and drama, showcasing the exceptional talent of actresses at that time. The image depicts an ancient Greek setting, specifically Corinth, known for its rich history and mythical tales. The backdrop showcases the Isthmus of Corinth and the mesmerizing Gulf of Corinth. In the foreground stands Kate Josephine Bateman, portraying Medea herself - a powerful sorceress from Greek mythology. Bateman's portrayal exudes both strength and vulnerability as she navigates through her tragic story. Her performance captivates audiences with every gesture and expression, transporting them into a world of passion and revenge. Friston's attention to detail brings this historical moment to life; every fold of fabric and facial expression is meticulously captured. This engraving serves as a testament to his skill as an artist. This print not only celebrates the performing arts but also pays homage to Greece's cultural heritage. It reminds us of our fascination with ancient myths that continue to inspire generations even today.
