EDITORS COMMENTS
Hippolyte Lalaisse's captivating artwork, "Nessus and Dejanira in Four Poses, and the Dying Nessus," transports us back to the 1830s and the rich world of Greek mythology. This masterpiece, created in brown ink and brown wash heightened with white on blue wove paper, is a testament to the artist's exceptional skill and the enduring power of myth. At the heart of the story is Nessus, a centaur who abducted the princess Deianira under the orders of her husband, Hercules. Deianira, filled with jealousy and fear, sought to win back Hercules' love by using a poisoned robe sent to her by the sorceress Medea. Unaware of the deceit, Nessus donned the robe, causing him excruciating pain and a slow, agonizing death. Lalaisse masterfully captures the emotional turmoil and physical suffering of both Nessus and Deianira in four distinct poses. In the first, Deianira looks on in horror as she realizes the consequences of her actions. In the second, she clings to Nessus, her face etched with guilt and despair. In the third, Nessus writhes in agony, his body twisting in the throes of death. In the final pose, he lies lifeless on the ground, his once-powerful form now still and lifeless. The artwork's monochrome palette adds to the somber and introspective mood, drawing our focus to the intricacies of the human condition and the consequences of jealousy, deceit, and love gone wrong. This stunning piece is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, Greek mythology, or the human experience. Originally from France, "Nessus and Deianira in Four Poses, and the Dying Nessus" is now part of the collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
