EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Iphigenia" we are transported to the world of Greek mythology, where tragedy and sacrifice intertwine. Created by an anonymous German artist in the 19th century, this print captures a pivotal moment from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's play "Iphigenia in Tauris". The image depicts Iphigenia, a central character who finds herself torn between her loyalty to her family and her duty as a priestess. The delicate lines and intricate details bring forth the emotional turmoil that engulfs Iphigenia as she contemplates her fate. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost feel the weight of Iphigenia's decision hanging in the air. Her expression reflects both strength and vulnerability, embodying the complex nature of women writers during that era. This artwork serves as a reminder of the power of literature to explore profound themes such as identity, morality, and destiny. It pays homage not only to Goethe's timeless work but also to all female writers who have dared to challenge societal norms through their words. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this piece from their private collection for us to admire its beauty and significance today. As we delve into its depths, let us be inspired by Iphigenia's courage and reflect on our own journeys towards self-discovery through literature.
