EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "In this print from 1812, J. M. W. Turner transports us to a secluded woodland landscape where the ancient myth of Procris and Cephalus unfolds. The scene is filled with intrigue as we witness a dramatic moment frozen in time. A woman lies on the forest floor, wounded by an arrow, while a man kneels beside her, his bow and quiver at hand. Two loyal dogs sit nearby, their watchful eyes reflecting concern for their fallen companions. Turner's masterful use of etching brings depth and texture to the image, capturing every intricate detail of the surrounding woodlands. The artist's fascination with both mythology and topography is evident here as he skillfully merges elements of nature and human drama into one harmonious composition. The print bears Turner's signature style - a delicate balance between light and shadow that creates an ethereal atmosphere within the scene. The towering trees provide shelter for this intimate encounter amidst nature's grandeur. Originally published in February 1812 by Mr Turner himself on Queen Ann Street West, this artwork showcases not only his artistic prowess but also his entrepreneurial spirit. As we gaze upon this timeless masterpiece today, it serves as a reminder of the enduring power of art to transport us to other worlds – where myths come alive among majestic forests and where beauty intertwines with tragedy.
