EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century line engraving, titled "PHAEDRA AND HIPPOLYTUS. Phaedra rejected by Hippolytus" transports us back to ancient Roman times with its exquisite depiction of a dramatic moment from Greek mythology. The print showcases the neo-classical style that was popular during this era, highlighting the fine artistry and attention to detail. In the image, we witness Phaedra's heart-wrenching rejection by Hippolytus, her stepson. Clad in an elaborate helmet and armed with a shield and weapon, Hippolytus stands tall as he turns away from Phaedra's desperate plea for love. His bow rests beside him, symbolizing his prowess as a hunter and warrior. Phaedra appears vulnerable yet determined in her flowing robes, reaching out towards Hippolytus with desperation etched on her face. A loyal pet dog stands faithfully at her side, offering solace amidst the turmoil. The artist skillfully captures the emotions of both characters through their facial expressions and body language. This engraving beautifully encapsulates the timeless themes of forbidden love and tragic consequences that have fascinated audiences throughout history. As we admire this remarkable piece of artwork from The Granger Collection's archives, it serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with classical mythology and how artists continue to bring these tales to life through their craft.
