EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in the mythological tale of Oedipus. In this scene, we witness the heroic act of a shepherd who saves Oedipus as an abandoned child. The young boy's parents were compelled to abandon him due to the pressing prophecy from the oracle of the Pythia. The image is taken from "Mythology of Youth" by Pierre Blanchard, published in 1803. It showcases the talent and artistry of the French School during the 19th century. This particular piece is part of a private collection and has been preserved over time. The composition beautifully depicts the shepherd cradling baby Oedipus with care and compassion. The colors used in this engraving add depth and emotion to this poignant moment. It serves as a reminder that even amidst tragedy, there are individuals who rise above circumstances to protect and nurture those in need. Oedipus, known for his tragic fate later in life, was fortunate enough to find solace through this kind-hearted shepherd during his early years. This artwork not only highlights Greek mythology but also explores themes such as human resilience and childhood innocence. Stefano Bianchetti's skillful execution brings forth every intricate detail, making it an invaluable addition to any fine art collection or enthusiast's appreciation for classical tales brought to life through visual storytelling.
