EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Madness of Heracles" takes us back to the 19th century and showcases a painting from an ancient Greek krater found in Paestum, Italy. The artwork is featured in the book Histoire de la Ceramique Grecque by Olivier Rayet and Maxime Collignon, published in Paris in 1888. The image depicts the mythological figure Heracles (also known as Hercules) during his moment of madness. The ornate decoration on the ceramic vessel adds depth to this powerful scene. Heracles appears frenzied and hysterical, embodying both heroism and madness simultaneously. Heracles was a prominent character in Greek mythology, renowned for his incredible strength and numerous heroic deeds. However, he also suffered from bouts of insanity due to Hera's curse upon him. This portrayal captures the essence of his inner turmoil as he grapples with his own sanity. The lithograph transports us into the world of ancient Greece, where polytheistic beliefs were prevalent among its people. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that has shaped our understanding of art and mythology today. Through this print, Bridgeman Images invites us to explore not only artistic beauty but also delve into deeper themes such as religion, paganism, and human psychology. It offers a glimpse into European history while celebrating one of its most iconic mythical heroes – Heracles.
