EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases Benjamin West's masterpiece, "Hector taking leave Andromache Fright Astyanax". The artwork, created in 1766, beautifully captures a poignant moment from Greek mythology. In this scene, Hector bids farewell to his beloved wife Andromache and their young son Astyanax. The emotions are palpable as Hector prepares to face his destiny on the battlefield. With delicate pen strokes and brown ink, West masterfully portrays the anguish and fear etched on Andromache's face as she clings tightly to her husband. The use of brush washes and blue watercolor adds depth and movement to the composition. Gouache touches enhance certain details while traces of black chalk create subtle shadows that bring life to the characters. Measuring 14 x 19 inches (356 x 483 cm), this drawing is a testament to West's skillful technique and attention to detail. Benjamin West was an American artist born in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania in 1738 but later moved to London where he gained recognition for his historical paintings. His ability to depict raw human emotions through art is evident in this particular piece. This print by Artokoloro allows us to appreciate West's talent even centuries after its creation. It serves as a reminder of the power of art in capturing timeless moments that continue to resonate with viewers today.
