EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we witness the enigmatic figure of Cassandra, the legendary Trojan princess and prophetess, delivering a prophecy. Crowned with regal elegance, she embodies both grace and power as she stands before us. Cassandra's story is one of tragedy and foresight. As the daughter of Priam and Hecuba, her destiny was intertwined with that of Troy. Gifted by the god Apollo with the ability to see into the future, Cassandra possessed an extraordinary insight into what lay ahead for her city. However, in a twist of fate fueled by rejection, Apollo cursed Cassandra so that no one would ever believe her prophecies. Despite her desperate warnings about the impending fall of Troy during the Trojan War, her words went unheeded. This woodcut print captures not only Cassandra's beauty but also reflects upon themes such as female strength and resilience against adversity. It serves as a reminder that even those who possess great knowledge can be silenced or ignored when their truths challenge established beliefs. As we gaze at this image from Ann Ronan Pictures' collection, we are drawn into Cassandra's world - a world where legends intertwine with human emotions and where wisdom often goes unrecognized until it is too late.
