EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the mythological world of ancient Greece. Giuseppe Cesari, also known as Cavalier d'Arpino, skillfully captures the essence of Andromeda's plight in his red chalk drawing titled "Andromeda chained to the rock". The delicate lines and shading on cream paper bring out the vulnerability and beauty of Andromeda, who is depicted as a captive prisoner. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, emphasizing her nakedness with grace and sensitivity. As we gaze upon this work of art from The Devonshire Collections at Chatsworth House, we can't help but feel a sense of empathy for Andromeda. Her chains symbolize her entrapment and powerlessness against fate. Yet amidst her captivity, there is an undeniable strength emanating from within her. Cesari's study allows us to delve into the depths of Greek mythology while appreciating the human form in its most vulnerable state. This drawing serves as a reminder that even in moments of despair and vulnerability, there lies resilience and determination. Through Bridgeman Images' reproduction, we have been granted permission to witness this extraordinary piece without commercial intent. It invites us to reflect on our own struggles and find solace in knowing that even when bound by circumstances beyond our control, there is always hope for liberation.
