EDITORS COMMENTS
Iphigenia, daughter of Agamemnon, king of Mycenae, c1900. This print captures the essence of a timeless Greek legend. In Ancient Greek mythology, Iphigenia's fate hung in the balance as her father prepared to sacrifice her at Aulis to appease the gods and secure favorable winds for his fleet against Troy. However, this image portrays a pivotal moment in Iphigenia's story - her rescue by Artemis (Diana), the goddess who intervened just as Agamemnon raised his sword. Saved from certain death, Iphigenia was spirited away to Tauris where she would become a priestess. The engraving beautifully depicts Iphigenia's vulnerability and strength simultaneously. Her nakedness symbolizes both her innocence and purity while also highlighting her courage in facing such an unimaginable ordeal. The composition emphasizes the contrast between royalty and divinity; she is both princess and chosen vessel for divine intervention. This 19th-century print not only showcases artistic mastery but also serves as a reminder of the power of mythological narratives that have captivated audiences for centuries. Euripedes skillfully weaves Iphigenia's tale into two dramatic works that continue to resonate with audiences today. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported back to ancient Greece - a world filled with gods, heroes, sacrifice, and redemption.
