EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment from Act III Scene 5 of Jean Racine's tragic play, "Phedre". The illustration depicts the complex relationships between Phaedra, Theseus, and Hippolytus in a neoclassical style. Engraved by Raphael Urbain Massard in 1824 after Anne Louis Girodet de Roucy-Trioson's original artwork, this image showcases the artist's mastery of capturing emotion through intricate details. In the scene portrayed, we witness Phaedra, daughter of Minos and Pasiphae, draped in elegant attire as she confronts her stepson Hippolytus. With a theatrical spear held firmly in hand and dressed in traditional Greco-Roman garments, Phaedra points accusingly at Hippolytus while her loyal nurse Oenone stands nearby. Meanwhile, Theseus - Athenian king and husband to Phaedra - observes the tense exchange with a mixture of concern and disbelief. The composition exudes drama as each character's gestures convey their inner turmoil. From Phaedra's anguished expression to Theseus' stoic demeanor and Hippolytus' defiant stance, every element contributes to the intensity of this tragic moment. With its meticulous attention to detail and adherence to classical aesthetics, this engraving exemplifies the neoclassical style prevalent during its creation. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece that pays homage to ancient Greek mythology and a visual representation
