EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Death of Penthesileia" transports us back to ancient Greece. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a tragic moment from Greek mythology. Penthesileia, the queen of the Amazons, lies lifeless on the ground while surrounded by grief-stricken warriors. The scene is filled with sorrow and mourning as her comrades mourn her untimely demise. The intricate details of their expressions convey a profound sense of loss. The engraver skillfully depicts the aftermath of battle, with tombstones and crypts serving as a haunting backdrop. This image serves as an illustration for A Concise Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities edited by F Warre Cornish in 1898. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded not only of the fragility of human life but also the enduring power of mythological tales that continue to captivate our imagination centuries later. Bridgeman Images has preserved this exquisite piece from history's grasp, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and delve into its narrative once more. Through this print, we can explore ancient cultures and immerse ourselves in their stories – connecting past and present through art's timeless language.
