EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Iphigenia and Orestes, 1880" takes us back to ancient Greek mythology. The artist, Antique, beautifully captures a moment of intense discussion and contemplation in this scene from the tragic story of Iphigenia and Orestes. Seated in a grand court setting, we see a group of individuals engaged in deep conversation. A woman, possibly Iphigenia herself, sits at the center with her brother Orestes by her side. Their faces reflect both sorrow and determination as they discuss matters that hold great importance to their family. The image is rich with symbolism; it portrays not only the bond between siblings but also touches upon themes of justice, revenge, and loyalty. The classical Greek attire worn by the characters adds an authentic touch to this portrayal. The meticulous attention to detail brings out the essence of 19th-century British artistry while staying true to its classical roots. This print serves as a visual representation of Rev. Alfred J Church's book "Stories from the Greek Tragedies" which explores these timeless tales through literature. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking portrait against a stark black background, we are reminded of the enduring power of mythological narratives that continue to captivate our imagination even today.
