EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Hector and Andromache saying their farewells" evokes a poignant moment in Greek mythology. Created by an anonymous European School artist during the 19th century, this artwork showcases a scene from the Trojan War. In this emotional depiction, Hector, a heroic figure of ancient Greece, bids farewell to his beloved wife Andromache. As they embrace one last time before Hector's departure for battle, their love and devotion are palpable. The composition beautifully captures the tenderness between them as they cling to each other amidst a backdrop of horses and soldiers preparing for war. The image is part of a series on the Trojan War published on Liebig cards in the late 19th or early 20th century. These educational cards aimed to bring classical mythology to life through vivid illustrations like this one. The artist skillfully portrays not only the couple's deep affection but also hints at the impending tragedy that awaits them. Their expressions convey both sorrow and determination as they face an uncertain future together. This print serves as a reminder of the enduring power of mythological stories and their ability to evoke strong emotions across generations. It invites viewers to reflect on themes such as love, sacrifice, and fate that have captivated audiences since ancient times.
