EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print titled "Montezumas Daughter" transports us back to the ancient world, immersing us in a tale of sacrifice and despair. Created by John Seymour Lucas in 1893, this artwork captures a pivotal moment filled with intense emotions. In the image, we witness a poor wretch kneeling before an imposing priest, his scarlet cloak billowing around him. The desperate figure raises a knife above his head, offering it as if in prayer or supplication. His heart-felt plea is uttered as he prepares to strike a blow that will forever change his destiny. The central focus of the composition is Montezuma's daughter herself - Itztli - donned in an elegant curved glass breastplate and adorned with intricate jewelry. Her expression remains stoic yet pained as she gazes upon her would-be executioner. Behind her stands an ancient priest who observes the scene with solemnity. The artist skillfully captures the tension between religious orders and human desires through this powerful engraving. The contrast between light and shadow further enhances the dramatic atmosphere, emphasizing both hopelessness and determination. As we contemplate this evocative piece from our private collection, we are transported into Haggard's world of adventure and intrigue where love clashes against tradition and fate hangs precariously on every decision made by these characters caught within its grasp.
