EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a head study of Iphigenia, the tragic figure from Greek mythology. Created by renowned artist Anselm Feuerbach in the 19th century, this artwork can be found in the esteemed collection of Museum Oskar Reinhart in Winterthur. Iphigenia's story is steeped in drama and turmoil. As the daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, she became entangled in the aftermath of the Trojan War. In Euripides' play "Iphigenia in Tauris" and Goethe's adaptation, Iphigenia is believed to have been sacrificed by her father to appease the gods before being miraculously saved. Feuerbach skillfully captures Iphigenia's emotional depth through his use of oil on canvas. The intensity within her eyes reflects both her internal struggle and resilience as she navigates through treacherous circumstances. This artwork serves as an allegory for themes such as sacrifice, familial duty, and fate that resonate throughout literature. Feuerbach's portrayal invites viewers to delve into ancient myths while contemplating their relevance even today. Nanna Risi has expertly captured this fine art image, preserving its intricate details for generations to come. Whether you are a lover of Greek mythology or simply appreciate masterful artistic expression, this print offers a glimpse into an enduring tale that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
