EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment from Act III Scene 7 of Jean Racine's tragic play, Andromaque. The illustration depicts the heart-wrenching scene where Andromache, portrayed by Girodet de Roucy-Trioson, kneels at the feet of Pyrrhus, played by Anne Louis Girodet de Roucy-Trioson himself. Inspired by classical Greek and Roman art, this neoclassical masterpiece beautifully portrays the emotional intensity of the characters. Andromache is draped in a flowing toga and sandals while she beseeches Pyrrhus with her pleading gestures. Her cloak cascades around her as she reaches out to him in desperation. Pyrrhus, dressed regally as the king of Epirus, stands tall above her with an air of conflicted emotions. The dramatic gesture captured in this engraving perfectly encapsulates the tension between these two characters amidst the backdrop of the Trojan War. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; every fold in their drapery and every expression on their faces tells a story within itself. This theatrical image transports viewers into the world of French drama and leaves them captivated by its raw emotion. Displayed proudly at Bibliotheque de L'Arsenal in Paris, France, this print serves as a testament to both Racine's timeless tragedy and Girodet de Roucy-Trioson's exceptional artistic talent.
