EDITORS COMMENTS
In this humorous and whimsical print titled "Cymon and Iphigenia, 1796" created by James Gillray in the 18th century, we are transported to a scene inspired by Greek mythology. The image depicts a vulnerable woman named Iphigenia peacefully asleep while being harassed by the mischievous Cymon. Hand-coloured with vibrant hues, the artwork showcases Gillray's mastery of colour and his ability to bring characters from literature to life. The composition is filled with comedic elements as Cymon menacingly hovers over Iphigenia, who remains blissfully unaware of his presence. Drawing inspiration from Giovanni Boccaccio's novella "The Decameron" and John Dryden's play "Cimon". Gillray skillfully combines these literary references into a single captivating image. Through satire and wit, he invites viewers to reflect on themes of gender dynamics and power imbalances that persist throughout history. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this hand-tinted print serves as a testament to Gillray's talent as both an artist and social commentator. With its playful yet thought-provoking nature, it continues to captivate audiences even centuries after its creation. This caption provides an overview of the artwork while highlighting its historical context, artistic techniques employed by James Gillray, literary inspirations behind the piece, and its significance within The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection.
