EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases John Collier's masterpiece, "Circe" painted in 1885. The oil on canvas artwork measures an impressive 132.7x220 cm and is currently held in a private collection. Collier, a British artist of the nineteenth century, delves into mythology with this piece, depicting Circe, a powerful enchantress from ancient Greek tales. In this composition, we see her from behind as she leans on her elbow and scowls slightly. Her posture exudes both confidence and mystery. The natural woodland setting adds to the allure of the scene, with two animals accompanying Circe - a tiger resting at her side and another creature further back in the forested background. Collier's attention to detail is evident throughout the painting; his skillful brushwork captures every nuance of light and shadow that falls upon Circe's figure. This artwork represents classicism at its finest - a fusion of mythological themes with European artistry from the late nineteenth century. The young woman portrayed here possesses an air of authority mixed with an underlying sense of danger. Overall, this stunning image invites viewers to explore their own interpretations while appreciating Collier's mastery in capturing both beauty and intrigue within his work.
