EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic painting "Andromache mourning Hector" by Jacques Louis David. Created in 1783, this neoclassical masterpiece measures 58x43 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Pushkin Museum in Moscow, Russia. The painting depicts a heart-wrenching scene from Greek mythology, specifically from Homer's epic poem, the Iliad. Andromache, wife of the fallen Trojan hero Hector, mourns over his lifeless body. The artist skillfully captures her grief and despair as she clings to her beloved husband one last time. David's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke. The armor and helmet of Hector lie discarded nearby, symbolizing his tragic demise on the battlefield during the Trojan War. This work exemplifies the neo-classicist art movement prevalent during this period. The emotional intensity conveyed through Andromache's sorrowful expression resonates with viewers even centuries later. It serves as a poignant reminder of love lost and human suffering amidst war and conflict. Peter Willi's expert photography beautifully captures this significant piece of art history for all to appreciate. His dedication to preserving these works ensures that future generations can continue to admire their beauty and significance.
