EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the painting "Cephalus and Procris" by Godfried Schalcken, believed to have been created in the 1680s. The artwork, steeped in Greek mythology, depicts a tragic incident that unfolds before our eyes. In this scene, we witness Cephalus, a skilled athlete and javelin thrower, standing distraught over his dying wife Procris. The Dutch artist masterfully captures the emotions of both characters through his expert use of color and light on canvas. The composition transports us back to 17th century Netherlands as we delve into this tale of love and loss. Cephalus' grief is palpable as he mourns the accidental killing of his beloved Procris with a fatal javelin throw. Their marriage shattered by this unforeseen tragedy. Schalcken's attention to detail brings these mythological figures to life, allowing us to connect with their pain and anguish. This oil painting serves as a powerful reminder of the fragility of human existence and the devastating consequences that can arise from simple accidents. As we gaze upon this heritage art piece at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also its timeless relevance. It stands as a testament to Schalcken's artistic prowess while immersing us in an ancient narrative that continues to resonate with audiences today.
