EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Anthony Frederick Augustus Sandys' masterpiece, "Cassandra (w/c on paper)". Measuring 35.6x45.7 cm, this artwork is a part of a private collection and depicts Cassandra, the daughter of Priam and renowned prophetess of the fall of Troy. Cursed by Apollo to always speak true prophecies but never be believed, Cassandra's tragic fate is beautifully captured in this painting. The image portrays Cassandra with her striking auburn hair cascading around her face, emphasizing her ethereal beauty. Her piercing gaze reflects both horror and premonition as she foresees the impending doom that awaits Troy. The artist skillfully captures every detail, from the intricate brushstrokes to the vibrant colors used. Sandys' portrayal of Cassandra evokes strong emotions within viewers as they witness her struggle between knowledge and disbelief. This piece draws inspiration from Virgil's epic poem "Aeneid" where Cassandra plays a significant role in predicting the Trojan War's outcome. Displayed by Bridgeman Images through eThe Ms Gallery in London, this print offers an opportunity for art enthusiasts to appreciate Sandys' exceptional talent while delving into Greek mythology and its timeless tales of tragedy and destiny.
