EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Death of Abimelech at Thebez, 1855" by Richard Dadd transports us to a chaotic medieval battlefield. The image depicts the climactic moment when Abimelech, a king engaged in reducing the rebellious town of Thebez, meets his tragic fate. Standing tall in his armor and wielding a sword, Abimelech confronts his enemies with unwavering determination. However, amidst the chaos and confusion of battle, an unexpected turn takes place. A mill-stone hurtles through the air towards Abimelech's head, thrown by the hand of a courageous woman standing atop the city wall. This fatal blow marks the end for Abimelech as he falls victim to this unforeseen act of defiance. The painting captures not only the physical clash between soldiers but also symbolizes themes such as power struggles and rebellion against authority. With its abstract elements and intense brushstrokes, it evokes a sense of tension and conflict that resonates with viewers. Displayed at Yale Center for British Art as part of Paul Mellon Collection in USA, this artwork invites us to reflect on historical events while appreciating Richard Dadd's artistic prowess. Through this powerful composition filled with fighting soldiers and shields clashing against each other, we are reminded that even kings can meet their demise when faced with unexpected opposition from those they seek to conquer.
