EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving by Bernard Picart depicts the ancient Greek mythological figure, Ixion, bound to an eternally turning fiery wheel. The image showcases the torment and horror that awaits him in the depths of Hell's underworld. Ixion's punishment serves as a cautionary tale for mortals who dare to challenge the gods. In Greek mythology, he committed a grave offense by lusting after Hera, Zeus' wife. As retribution for his audacity, Zeus devised this eternal torment specifically tailored to Ixion's transgression. The artist masterfully captures the essence of Ixion's suffering through intricate details and vibrant colors. The fiery wheel symbolizes perpetual motion while engulfed in flames, representing both physical pain and unending psychological torture. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are reminded of the consequences that befall those who defy divine authority. It serves as a reminder that our actions have repercussions beyond our mortal lives. Picart skillfully brings forth this ancient mythological story into visual form with remarkable precision and intensity. This artwork invites us to contemplate themes of morality, hubris, and justice within Greek mythology while simultaneously showcasing Picart's artistic prowess. Intriguingly haunting yet undeniably beautiful, this coloured engraving offers viewers a glimpse into one man's eternal punishment—a powerful reminder of humanity’s place within the vast cosmos governed by higher powers.
