EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "SISYPHUS STONE" showcases a remarkable copper engraving by the talented French artist Bernard Picart. Created in the 18th century, this ancient Roman-inspired artwork depicts the infamous punishment of Sisyphus, a figure from Greek mythology. In this rear view composition, we witness Sisyphus laboriously pushing an enormous stone up a hill as part of his eternal penance. Picart's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique, capturing the essence of both beauty and torment. The nude figures portrayed exude strength and determination while being surrounded by an atmosphere reminiscent of Hades itself. A menacing serpent slithers nearby, symbolizing the constant threat that lurks within Tartarus. Through this powerful image, Picart explores themes such as punishment and evil while highlighting mankind's struggle against seemingly insurmountable tasks. The viewer is transported to another time and place where mythological creatures coexist with human beings burdened by their own actions. The Granger Collection has masterfully preserved this significant piece of art history for all to admire. This print serves as a reminder that even in our modern world, ancient stories continue to captivate us with their timeless relevance and profound symbolism.
