EDITORS COMMENTS
The Fates (engraving) by English School, a captivating print that transports us back to the 19th century. This exquisite artwork, now part of a private collection, is an illustration for A Pictorial History of the World's Great Nations by Charlotte M Yonge. The engraving depicts the enigmatic trio known as The Fates. In Greek mythology, The Fates were believed to be three goddesses who controlled human destiny. They determined the length and course of each person's life with their spinning thread of life, measuring it with precision before cutting it when one's time had come. This powerful imagery has been beautifully captured in this digitalized image. The attention to detail and skillful execution are evident in every line and curve of this engraving. It showcases the influence of Michelangelo on English art during this period, with its strong sense of form and composition. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we have the privilege to admire this remarkable piece from history. Its digitally cleaned presentation allows us to appreciate its true beauty without any distractions. This print serves as a reminder that our lives are intertwined with forces beyond our control; yet it also encourages us to embrace our own agency within these predetermined paths. As we gaze upon The Fates' solemn faces and graceful movements frozen in time, we can't help but ponder over our own destinies.
