EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Medea Kills Her Two Children by Jason" takes us back to ancient Greece, delving into the dark realms of Greek mythology. Created in 1563 by renowned French artist René Boyvin, this intricate engraving showcases his exceptional talent for capturing emotion and storytelling. The image depicts Medea, a complex and tragic figure from Greek mythology, as she commits the unthinkable act of infanticide. Driven by revenge against her unfaithful husband Jason, Medea pours out the blood of her own children as a twisted form of retribution. The intense emotions portrayed on Medea's face are hauntingly juxtaposed with the ornate frame surrounding her. Boyvin's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this piece - from the delicate engravings that adorn the background to the expressive faces of both mother and children. This artwork serves as a chilling reminder of how far one can be driven when consumed by anger and despair. Housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print stands as a testament to Boyvin's mastery in capturing profound moments from ancient tales. It invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as motherhood, justice, and morality that transcend time and culture. As we gaze upon this powerful image, we are reminded once again that art has an extraordinary ability to transport us through history while evoking deep emotional responses within ourselves.
