EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts the Furies, female deities of vengeance in ancient Greek and Roman mythology. Created by the German School in the 19th century, this print showcases their winged forms with intricate detail. The Furies were known for their relentless pursuit of justice, punishing those who committed heinous crimes. The image is taken from "Illustrierte Mythologie, Gottersagen und Kultusformen der Hellenen, Romer, Aegypter und Inder" (Otto Spamer, Leipzig, 1867), a comprehensive collection of myths and legends from various ancient civilizations. It offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of beliefs held by the Greeks and Romans during that time. The intensity captured in this engraving highlights the power these mythological figures possessed. With wings spread wide behind them, they appear ready to unleash their wrath upon any wrongdoer who crosses their path. This artwork serves as a reminder of the enduring fascination with ancient mythology and its influence on art throughout history. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece as part of their private collection. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows viewers to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance. Whether one is drawn to Greek mythology or simply appreciates fine engravings from the 19th century, this print offers an intriguing window into both worlds.
