EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving by M. Weber captures the poignant moment between Oedipus and his daughter Antigone, following the tragic revelation of their incestuous relationship and Oedipus' blinding of himself. Hailing from Greek mythology, Oedipus was once a heroic king of Thebes, whose fate was foretold by the Delphic oracle that he would kill his father and marry his mother. Unaware of the prophecy, Oedipus unwittingly fulfilled the prophecy, leading to the tragic consequences. In this image, a youthful Oedipus, now blind and in exile, is shown with his young daughter Antigone. The once powerful king, now a broken man, clings to his stick for support as he leads his daughter into an uncertain future. Antigone, with a look of concern and love, tenderly touches her father's cheek, offering him comfort in his time of need. The use of vibrant colors adds a sense of depth and emotion to the image, highlighting the tragic yet enduring bond between father and daughter. This engraving is a testament to the timeless nature of Greek mythology and the powerful themes of fate, family, and the human condition that continue to resonate with audiences today. The image of Oedipus and Antigone is a poignant reminder of the complexities and heartbreaks that come with the human experience.
