Poisoned Eleanor, 1782
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating painting by the talented artist Angelika Kauffmann. This exquisite artwork, found in the collection of the State Open-air Museum Pavlovsk Palace in St. Petersburg, transports viewers to a world of mythological allegory and literature. The painting depicts an intriguing scene from history where Edward I of England mourns over his beloved wife Eleanor of Castile's lifeless body. With masterful brushstrokes and delicate use of oil on canvas, Kauffmann skillfully captures the emotions and turmoil that engulfed Edward during this tragic moment. The composition is rich with symbolism as it intertwines elements from mythology and classicism. The figure of Sultan Selim stands beside Edward, representing strength and power amidst adversity. Through this juxtaposition, Kauffmann explores themes such as love, loss, and resilience. As we delve into this masterpiece further, we are reminded of James Thomson's poem "Edward and Eleanor" which serves as inspiration for Kauffmann's portrayal. The artist successfully translates the essence of Thomson's words onto her canvas through meticulous attention to detail. This print offers us a glimpse into Schwitzerland-born Angelika Kauffmann's artistic brilliance during the late 18th century. It invites us to reflect upon historical events while appreciating fine art at its finest form.
