EDITORS COMMENTS
In this painting titled "Greek Women Imploring at the Virgin of Assistance". Ary Scheffer transports us to a pivotal moment in history. Created in 1826, during the Romanticism movement, this fine art piece now resides in the National Museum of Western Art in Tokyo. The scene depicts Greek women fervently imploring for divine intervention amidst the chaos and turmoil of the Greek War of Independence against the Ottoman Empire. With eyes closed and hands clasped together, their expressions are filled with both desperation and hope as they seek solace from the Virgin Mary. Scheffer's masterful use of oil on canvas brings forth a sense of realism that allows viewers to feel an emotional connection with these martyresses. The artist skillfully captures every detail, from their traditional attire to their weary yet determined faces. This painting not only serves as a historical record but also symbolizes the resilience and strength displayed by Greek women during this period. It highlights their unwavering faith and belief in divine assistance amidst unimaginable hardships. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of Greece's struggle for independence and its significance within European history. Scheffer's portrayal stands as a testament to human perseverance and serves as an enduring tribute to those who fought for freedom during one of Greece's most challenging times.
