EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Study for Rizpah" showcases the artistic brilliance of Frederic Leighton. Created in 1870 but published in 1897 as part of The Studio Volume 9, this monochrome masterpiece captures the essence of a powerful biblical story. The image depicts a solitary woman, Rizpah, who is portrayed with utmost grace and elegance. Leighton's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his chalk sketch. The drapery surrounding her adds depth and dimension to the composition, emphasizing her emotional turmoil. Rizpah's story originates from the Old Testament and revolves around themes of motherhood, grief, and redemption. As a concubine mourning the deaths of her two sons who were executed by King David's order, she embarks on an extraordinary act of devotion - guarding their bodies from vultures day and night until they receive proper burial rites. Leighton masterfully captures Rizpah's inner strength through this poignant portrait. Her expression reflects both sorrow and determination as she fulfills her sacred duty against all odds. This artwork serves as a testament to Leighton's ability to convey profound emotions through his classical style. As we gaze upon this century-old print today, we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also its timeless relevance. It stands as a tribute to women throughout history who have faced adversity with unwavering resilience – an enduring symbol that continues to inspire generations.
