EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Adonis Wounded, 1887" by Briton Riviere takes us on a journey through the tragic tale from Ovid's Metamorphoses. In this oil on canvas masterpiece, measuring 51.1x96.5 cm, we witness the heart-wrenching moment when Adonis meets his untimely demise. Lying amidst a serene landscape, Adonis is depicted in all his mortal vulnerability. His male nude form lies exposed and defenseless after being viciously attacked by a wild boar. The artist skillfully captures the raw emotions of pain and impending death that emanate from Adonis' wounded body. The presence of two loyal dogs adds an element of melancholy to the scene as they bay mournfully beside their dying master. Their loyalty serves as a poignant reminder of the inevitable fate that awaits us all. Riviere's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, bringing forth a sense of realism that intensifies our connection with this tragic figure. The walking stick or cane nearby symbolizes both support and futility in the face of mortality. This print allows us to appreciate not only Riviere's technical prowess but also his ability to convey profound human experiences through art. It invites contemplation on themes such as life's fragility, the inevitability of death, and our own vulnerabilities.
