EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic scene from the tragedy Adela, Gravinne van Ponthieu (1762) by Henri Jean Roullaud. In this intense moment, a man lies on the floor after being stabbed, while a dagger rests beside him. The woman responsible for the act is being restrained by another man who grabs her from behind. As this unfolds, a group of people watches in shock and anticipation in the background. The artist Simon Fokke skillfully brings to life the violent death by dagger depicted in this print. The use of etching on paper adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its emotional impact. With dimensions of 139 mm in height and 89 mm in width, this print demands attention and draws viewers into its tragic narrative. While we are left to wonder about the circumstances leading up to this fateful moment, it is clear that Adela's actions have had devastating consequences. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the enduring themes explored within tragedies - love, betrayal, revenge - which continue to captivate audiences across generations. As part of the Liszt Collection, this print offers an intriguing glimpse into historical theatrical productions and their artistic interpretations. It invites us to reflect on human nature's darker aspects while appreciating the talent and creativity involved in bringing such stories to life onstage.
