EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the moment when Rasselas, the protagonist of Samuel Johnson's renowned novel "Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia" discovers a means of escape. Created by Alfred Holst Tourrier in the form of an etching, this artwork showcases Rasselas standing on a riverbank in 18th century Abyssinia (modern-day Ethiopia), contemplating his options for freedom. The image beautifully portrays Rasselas dressed in traditional Abyssinian attire, reflecting the rich cultural heritage and exoticism associated with this ancient land. As he gazes into the distance, one can sense his longing for adventure and a desire to break free from his confined existence as a prince. Tourrier's meticulous attention to detail brings out every nuance of emotion on Rasselas' face - hope mixed with uncertainty. The lush green valley surrounding him symbolizes both beauty and confinement simultaneously. It is within this picturesque landscape that Rasselas begins to question his privileged life and seeks answers beyond its boundaries. Johnson's novel explores themes such as existentialism, human nature, and the pursuit of happiness. This artwork serves as a visual representation of these ideas while also highlighting German artist Tourrier's skillful interpretation. With its historical significance and literary connection, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into both Ethiopian culture and European literature from centuries past. Its presence in private collections ensures that it remains accessible for enthusiasts who appreciate fine art intertwined with storytelling at its finest.
