EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, titled "Hector taking leave of Andromache: the Fright of Astyanax". Benjamin West skillfully captures a poignant moment from Greek mythology. Set in an ancient city, we witness the emotional departure of Hector, a brave Trojan prince, as he bids farewell to his wife Andromache and their young son Astyanax. The scene is filled with raw emotion and tension. Andromache's arms are outstretched towards her departing husband, her face etched with fear and sadness. Meanwhile, little Astyanax clings to his mother's dress, frightened by the sight of his father donning armor and holding a sword and shield. West's mastery of color brings life to this neoclassical artwork. The brown ink drawing is delicately enhanced with touches of gouache over traces of black chalk. The blue watercolor adds depth to the composition while maintaining its classical elegance. As viewers, we are transported back in time to witness this heart-wrenching moment between family members torn apart by war. West's attention to detail and portrayal of human emotions make this piece truly timeless. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in America, this print serves as a reminder not only of our shared cultural heritage but also the universal themes found within ancient literature such as Homer's Iliad. It invites us to reflect on love amidst conflict and sacrifice for one's country – concepts that transcend time and place.
