EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Cambyses punishing the unjust judge Sisamnes, ca. 1630-80" captures a powerful moment in history. Depicting a scene from ancient Persia, this black and white etching by Remoldus Eynhoudts takes us back to the seventeenth century. In this thought-provoking image, we witness an intense debate between Cambyses II, the Persian king known for his strong sense of justice, and Sisamnes, an unjust judge. The location is filled with tension as these two men engage in a discussion about law and morality. As we observe this historical event unfolding before our eyes, it becomes clear that justice is at stake. The image portrays the weight of responsibility on both sides - the monarch representing royal authority and the judge embodying legal wisdom. Through Peter Paul Rubens' masterful artistry, every detail comes alive: from the expressions on their faces to their body language conveying power dynamics. This print serves as a reminder of how crucial fair judgment is in any society. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this piece invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as governance and ethics that transcend time and place. It serves as a testament to Remoldus Eynhoudts' skillful interpretation of history through his artistic lens.
