EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intense and dramatic scene of "Orestes pursued by the furies". Created by the French School in the 19th century, this gravure is a reproduction of Lematte's original painting. The image has been digitally cleaned to enhance its clarity and detail. The artwork was featured as an illustration for "The Chefs-D Oeuvre d Art of the International Exhibition" in 1878, edited by Edward Straham. This publication aimed to showcase exceptional artworks from around the world during the Paris World's Fair that same year. In Greek mythology, Orestes is relentlessly pursued by vengeful goddesses known as the Furies after he murders his mother Clytemnestra to avenge his father Agamemnon's death. This engraving beautifully captures their haunting pursuit and conveys a sense of urgency and fear. The composition exudes a powerful atmosphere with its dynamic lines and contrasting light and shadow. The artist skillfully portrays Orestes' desperation as he flees from these relentless tormentors. This print offers viewers a glimpse into both ancient Greek mythology and 19th-century artistry. It serves as a testament to human creativity across different eras, making it an intriguing addition to any fine art collection or exhibition space.
