EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the tragic figure of Monime, Queen of the Pont, as depicted in "El Culto de la Hermosura" by Juan Justo Huguet. The image captures a moment of profound despair and determination on Monime's face, revealing her fateful decision to request her own death rather than falling into the hands of the Romans. Monime's story is one marked by sacrifice and loyalty to her husband, Mithridate VI Eupator. In 72 BC, facing imminent capture by Roman forces, she made this heartbreaking plea for mercy from her beloved king. This powerful portrayal highlights not only Monime's beauty but also her strength and unwavering devotion. The engraving itself is a testament to the skillful artistry of Stefano Bianchetti. His attention to detail brings forth every emotion etched on Monime's face and captures the essence of this historical moment with great sensitivity. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the timeless themes it represents - love, sacrifice, and resilience in times of adversity. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in our darkest moments, there can be grace and dignity found in choosing our own fate. This remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder invites us to reflect on history's forgotten heroines whose stories continue to resonate across time.
