EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense emotions of the tragic scene from Racine's Complete Works. Girodet de Roucy-Trioson, a renowned French artist, skillfully portrays the Death of Phaedra in this preparatory sketch for an illustration. The composition measures 26.5x35.5 cm and is housed in the Louvre's Cabinet de dessins. The image depicts a moment of despair and desperation as Phaedra, a female figure, lies lifeless on the ground. Her nude body is delicately rendered with meticulous attention to anatomical details, showcasing Girodet's mastery of neo-classical style. Surrounding Phaedra are her husband Theseus, Panope (her lady-in-waiting), and other mournful figures who express their sorrow over her untimely demise. The tragedy unfolds against a backdrop reminiscent of ancient Greek mythology. Girodet's powerful portrayal evokes a sense of mourning and grief that resonates with viewers even centuries later. Through his precise use of black pencil on paper, he brings to life Racine's dramatic play while capturing the essence of human emotion. This remarkable photograph was taken by Giraudon in 1898 and showcases Girodet's artistic brilliance in translating theatrical moments onto paper. As we gaze upon this timeless work, we are reminded once again why fine art has such enduring power to move us deeply within our souls.
