EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Envy, Ovids House, Envy, Book II, lines 760-796" is a remarkable piece of art by William Hamilton. Created in London between 1770 and 1780, it showcases the artist's exceptional talent and attention to detail. The recto side of the print features a naked woman embodying envy as described in Ovid's "House of Envy". Her expression is filled with malice and discontent, capturing the essence of this powerful emotion. The intricate brushstrokes beautifully depict her delicate form and convey a sense of vulnerability beneath her envious facade. On the verso side lies another naked woman whose identity remains mysterious. Perhaps she represents innocence or purity juxtaposed against envy's destructive nature. The ambiguity adds an intriguing layer to this artwork, inviting viewers to interpret its meaning for themselves. William Hamilton's mastery shines through in his ability to capture complex emotions through visual representation. This print from Artokoloro allows us to appreciate his skillful execution even centuries after its creation. As we delve into this mesmerizing artwork, let us reflect on the universal theme of envy that has plagued humanity throughout history. It serves as a reminder to examine our own hearts and strive for contentment rather than allowing jealousy to consume us.
