EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Francesco di Giorgio Martini, depicting the legendary figure of Oenone. Painted in the 1460s using tempera on panel, this masterpiece measures 41.9x24.1 cm and is currently housed at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. Oenone, a nymph blessed with prophetic abilities, stands as a tragic figure warning her husband Paris, a Trojan prince, about the disastrous consequences that would follow his pursuit of Helen, the beautiful queen of Sparta. This powerful portrayal captures Oenone's anguish and despair as she tries to prevent her husband from igniting the flames of war. Originally part of a larger composition known as a cassone or wedding chest, this panel was paired with another depicting Paris himself in armor. Together they flanked a central scene illustrating Paris' first marriage to Oenone before his fateful encounter with Helen. The attention to detail in this painting is remarkable; every brushstroke brings life to Oenone's flowing gown and intricate armor adorned with classical motifs. The artist skillfully merges Flemish and Italian influences within this wooden canvas by incorporating elements such as bows and shields. As we gaze upon this Renaissance gem, we are transported back to an era where mythology intertwines with history—a time when love and war collided amidst tales of gods and heroes.
