EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the poignant moment of Andromache mourning the death of her beloved husband, Hector. Created by Gavin Hamilton in 1760-63, this pen and ink and wash on paper artwork beautifully depicts the raw emotion of grief. Measuring at 13.7x20.6 cm, this masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection in the USA. The artist, a Scottish talent named Gavin Hamilton (1723-98), skillfully portrays the heart-wrenching scene from Greek mythology's Trojan War. Andromache's sorrow is palpable as she stands beside Hector's lifeless body on his deathbed. This tragic event was caused by Achilles, adding to the depth of despair portrayed in this piece. The intricate details and delicate strokes bring life to Andromache's expression of loss and longing for her fallen lover. The intensity of emotions depicted here resonates with viewers across generations. Hamilton masterfully captures not only grief but also love between these mythological lovers through his meticulous technique. This drawing serves as a testament to his artistic prowess and ability to convey complex emotions through visual storytelling. As an invaluable part of art history, this print showcases both Hamilton's talent as an artist and Andromache’s enduring portrayal as a symbol of eternal love amidst tragedy.
