EDITORS COMMENTS
Infant Oedipus Brought Home by Shepherd," a captivating 17th-century artwork, is a masterpiece by an unknown Flemish artist, showcased at the Art Institute of Chicago. This monochrome drawing, executed in red chalk with stumping on ivory laid paper tipped onto cream laid paper, dates back to the late 1600s. The image depicts the mythological figure of Oedipus, the ancient Greek king of Thebes, as an infant being brought home by a shepherd. The drawing is a testament to the artistic techniques of the 17th century. The artist's skillful use of red chalk and stumping creates a striking contrast between the soft, delicate features of the infant Oedipus and the rough, textured texture of the shepherd's clothing. The shepherd, with his strong, weathered features and rugged appearance, cradles the vulnerable infant in his arms, conveying a sense of protection and care. The drawing's composition is simple yet powerful, with the focus on the interaction between the two figures. The use of chalk and the lack of color adds to the timeless quality of the artwork, transporting viewers back to a bygone era. The drawing is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of Flanders and the enduring allure of mythology. The Art Institute of Chicago is proud to house this significant work of art, which continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. The drawing is a testament to the power of art to transport us to different times and places, and to remind us of the universal themes of love, protection, and the passage of time.
