EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white etching by Jean Mignon, we are transported back to the ancient city of Troy during the Trojan Wars. The scene depicts a pivotal moment as "The Trojans Bring the Wooden Horse into Their City" with an air of suspense and deception hanging in the atmosphere. As background people observe, their expressions reveal both curiosity and unknowingness about what is about to unfold. Mignon's intricate attention to detail brings this centuries-old tale from Greek mythology to life. The trojan horse, a symbol of cunning strategy employed by the Greeks, looms large in the center of the composition. Its imposing presence against the backdrop of Troy's architectural wonders serves as a reminder that even great cities can fall victim to deceit. This print not only showcases Mignon's artistic prowess but also highlights his deep appreciation for history and heritage art. Through his masterful technique, he transports us back in time, allowing us to witness this iconic event firsthand. "The Trojans Bring the Wooden Horse into Their City" is part of The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, where it stands as a testament to Mignon's contribution to French art during the 16th century. It serves as a powerful reminder that even within works of art lies untold stories waiting for discovery and interpretation.
