EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Circe, 1881" we are transported to a world of allure and temptation. The image, captured by Charles Hermans in the late 19th century, showcases a scene that is both mysterious and alluring. The focal point of the photograph is Circe herself, portrayed as a seductive temptress. Dressed in an elegant evening gown, she exudes confidence and sensuality. Her gaze is intense and her body language suggests power over those who dare to approach her. Surrounded by spilled wine and empty glasses, this drinking scene hints at the intoxicating effects of Circe's sorcery. It brings to mind Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey" where Circe was known for turning men into animals with her magical potions. This femme fatale portrayal challenges traditional gender roles by depicting a strong female character who holds control over men through her enchantments. The innuendo present in the image further adds depth to its narrative. Hermans' artistic composition beautifully captures the essence of this mythical figure while also incorporating elements of fashion from his time period. This fusion creates an intriguing blend between ancient mythology and contemporary aesthetics. As we delve into this mesmerizing print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of the timeless fascination humans have had with tales of desire, power struggles, and the consequences they entail.
