EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned painting "Phaedra and Hippolytus" created around 1802. Housed in the prestigious Musee du Louvre in Paris, this masterpiece is a testament to neoclassical artistry and its enduring influence on fine art. The image depicts an iconic scene from Greek mythology as immortalized by Roman playwright Jean Racine. Phaedra, wife of Theseus, falls deeply in love with her stepson Hippolytus. The intense emotions and forbidden desires are beautifully captured through the skillful use of oil on canvas by Pierre Narcisse Guérin. With meticulous attention to detail, Guérin brings these ancient characters to life, evoking both their strength and vulnerability. The composition exudes a sense of tension as Phaedra wrestles with her conflicting emotions while Hippolytus remains steadfastly loyal to his father. The painting serves as an allegory for human nature's struggle against temptation and moral dilemmas. It reflects the timeless themes explored throughout literature and art history – love, betrayal, honor, and tragedy. As viewers gaze upon this remarkable piece of artwork preserved at Musee du Louvre, they are transported back in time to ancient Greece or Rome. This print allows us all to appreciate the beauty of classical mythology intertwined with exceptional artistic talent that has stood the test of time.
