EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the Erinyes, also known as the Furies in Roman mythology - Megere (jealousy), Alecto (anger), and Tisphone (revenge) - in all their terrifying glory. Created by Jacques Louis Constant Lacerf based on an illustration by Leonard Defrance, this etching captures the essence of these infernal goddesses with exquisite detail.
The Erinyes were ancient deities who personified vengeance and retribution, punishing those who had committed crimes such as murder or perjury. Megere represents jealousy, Alecto embodies anger, and Tisiphone symbolizes revenge - a formidable trio that struck fear into the hearts of mortals.
In this print, we see the Erinyes depicted with fierce expressions and powerful poses, surrounded by swirling clouds of darkness. Their presence is both awe-inspiring and chilling, a reminder of the consequences of defying divine justice.
Lacerf's skillful hand has brought these mythological figures to life with intricate lines and delicate shading. The hand-colored details add depth to the composition, making each Fury seem almost tangible.
As we gaze upon this image from Greek mythology, we are transported to a world where gods and goddesses walk among mortals, enforcing order through fear and punishment. The Erinyes stand as eternal guardians of cosmic balance, ensuring that no crime goes unpunished.
