EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating painting "Antiochus and Stratonice" by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres depicts a poignant moment in ancient Macedonian mythology. The scene portrays Antiochus, who is gravely ill, lying on his deathbed while his father mourns beside him. Seeking medical help, the concerned father calls upon a doctor to examine his son's condition. As the doctor observes Antiochus closely, he notices that the sight of Stratonice, recently married to Antiochus' father, causes an unexpected reaction in the young man's pulse. Realizing that love for Stratonice is both causing and intensifying Antiochus' illness, the doctor reveals this heartbreaking truth to his selfless father. This painting beautifully captures not only a tale of forbidden love but also exemplifies parental devotion at its finest. The story behind this artwork resonated deeply with audiences during its time and continued to enjoy popularity well into the 19th century. Displayed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this oil-on-linen masterpiece measures 74.5x91.5 centimeters when framed and 48.1x63.9 centimeters without framing. Its intricate details bring life to every element within it – from the classical columns surrounding the bed to the emotional expressions on each character's face. Ingres skillfully conveys both tragedy and tenderness through his brushstrokes, making "Antiochus and Stratonice" a timeless work of art that continues to captivate viewers today.
