EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Jason swearing Eternal Affection to Medea" created by Jean-Francois de Troy in 1743, we are transported to a moment of intense emotion and devotion. The painting, now housed in the esteemed National Gallery in London, beautifully captures a scene from ancient mythology. The artist skillfully depicts Jason, the legendary hero of Greek mythology, as he solemnly pledges his eternal love and loyalty to Medea. Dressed in elaborate Rococo attire that reflects the fashion of the time period, Jason gazes deeply into Medea's eyes while holding her delicate hand. The intensity of their connection is palpable as they stand against a backdrop reminiscent of ancient Rome.

It serves as a testament to both de Troy's artistic talent and his deep understanding of classical mythology.
