EDITORS COMMENTS
Tircis and Amaranth: A Timeless Tale of Unrequited Love This exquisite 19th-century print captures a poignant moment in the ancient Greek fable of Tircis and Amaranth. The young man, Tircis, is depicted with an earnest expression as he speaks to Amaranth, his beloved. The scene is set in a serene pastoral landscape, with the golden sun casting a warm glow over the couple. According to the myth, Tircis was deeply in love with Amaranth, who was renowned for her beauty and immortality. However, Amaranth's heart belonged to another – the god Adonis. Tircis, unaware of this, continued to profess his love to her, hoping to win her affections. In this moment, Tircis pours out his heart to Amaranth, unknowingly revealing the depth of his feelings. The realization of Amaranth's true love for Adonis strikes her like a bolt of lightning. The print captures the poignant moment of her epiphany, as she looks at Tircis with a mixture of sadness and understanding. The myth of Tircis and Amaranth is a timeless tale of unrequited love, passion, and the bittersweet nature of desire. This beautiful print, with its intricate details and evocative use of light and shadow, transports us back to a simpler time, inviting us to reflect on the complexities of love and the human heart. This print, which dates back to the late 1800s, is a testament to the enduring power of myth and storytelling. It is a reminder that love, in all its forms, has been a source of inspiration and heartache for generations. The print is believed to be from the works of Jean-Léon Gérôme or his circle, and is a stunning example of the artistic mastery of the period.
