EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Cassandra Foretells the Trojans Their Fate and is Not Believed" transports us back to ancient times, immersing us in the dramatic events of the Trojan War. Created by Bernard Picart in 1731, this print captures a pivotal moment in Greek mythology. In the image, we see Cassandra, a renowned prophetess and daughter of King Priam of Troy. Standing on the steps of the Temple of Apollo, she passionately foretells the fate that awaits her beloved city. However, despite her clairvoyant abilities and desperate pleas for belief, she faces disbelief from those around her. The scene is filled with symbolism and tension. A soldier stands nearby as ships loom ominously in the background—a reminder of impending doom brought by Greek forces besieging Troy. The wall behind Cassandra represents both protection and imprisonment as she tries to warn her people. Picart's attention to detail brings life to this historic moment. Horses graze peacefully nearby while livestock roam freely—a stark contrast to the chaos about to unfold. This engraving not only showcases Picart's artistic skill but also serves as a visual representation of human nature's tendency to disregard warnings or dismiss prophecies that challenge our beliefs or desires. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from The Stapleton Collection—part of French history—we are reminded that even within timeless tales like these lies wisdom waiting to be acknowledged.
