EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the sculpture "Sardanapalus" created by Henry Weekes in 1856. The artist beautifully captures the essence of this legendary king of Assyria, who symbolizes a combination of three tragic rulers from ancient times. Sardanapalus was renowned for his extravagant and indulgent lifestyle, surpassing all his predecessors in opulence. In this stunning artwork, Weekes portrays Sardanapalus as a heroic figure, draped in majestic robes that signify his royal status. The monochrome medium adds depth to the sculpture's muscular physique and emphasizes its timeless appeal. Displayed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this plaster masterpiece transports viewers back to the 19th century when mythological figures like Sardanapalus fascinated people with their tales of power and tragedy. The nudity depicted here is not meant to be scandalous but rather serves as an artistic representation of strength and vulnerability. Weekes skillfully captures both the physicality and regal aura associated with monarchs through this sculpture. It stands as a testament to his mastery in portraying historical characters with such realism that they seem almost alive. This print is a remarkable piece of art history that invites us to delve into ancient mythology while appreciating Weekes' talent for immortalizing these mythical figures on canvas.
