EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Antigone, 1615" by Leonard Gaultier transports us to the 17th century, where Greek mythology comes alive. This stunning engraving is part of Les Images Ou Tableaux De Platte Peinture Des Deux Philostrates Sophistes Grecs, a collection curated by Blaise de Vigenere in Paris. In this powerful illustration, we witness Antigone's unwavering determination and bravery amidst the chaos of war. The scene unfolds outside as men battle fiercely in the background while smoke billows from their shields. Antigone stands at the forefront, pulling a lifeless corpse away from harm's way with her strong arms. Her resolute expression reveals her commitment to honor and duty even in the face of death. Nature intertwines with this tragic moment as a tree gracefully frames the composition, symbolizing growth and resilience amidst destruction. The monochrome palette enhances the emotional intensity of this scene, emphasizing both Antigone's solitary strength and her connection to ancient Greek mythology. This print captures not only an iconic female figure but also explores universal themes such as sacrifice, loyalty, and defiance against injustice. It serves as a reminder that even in times of turmoil, individuals can rise above adversity to protect what they hold dear. Displayed within Jean Claude Carriere's esteemed collection today; this artwork continues to inspire viewers with its timeless depiction of courage and compassion in the face of overwhelming odds.
