EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sinon Priam King Priam sits under trees scepter" transports us back to ancient times, capturing a pivotal moment in the legendary tale of Troy. The image showcases the powerful King Priam, seated beneath a cluster of majestic trees, his regal scepter held firmly in his right hand. Standing beside him are two trusted generals, their presence symbolizing strength and loyalty. Intriguingly, on the right side of the composition, we witness Sinon being brought before the king by four shepherds. Sinon is depicted as a Greek pretending to be a deserter, cunningly deceiving those around him. This French caption emphasizes this aspect of his character and adds an extra layer of intrigue to the scene. As our gaze extends beyond this dramatic encounter, we catch sight of the iconic Trojan horse looming ominously in the background. Its imposing presence hints at imminent danger and foreshadows the impending downfall of Troy. The artist behind this remarkable etching is Pieter Matthias Godyn from Rome in 1782. Through delicate lines on paper, he skillfully captures both grandeur and tension within this single frame measuring 362 mm wide by 293 mm high. This print from Liszt Collection allows us to delve into classical mythology while appreciating Godyn's artistic prowess. It serves as a timeless reminder that appearances can be deceiving and that even great kings like Priam are not immune to treachery lurking within their midst.
