EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Hermione, the character from Jean Racine's play "Andromaque" in her exquisite costume. The image is a coloured engraving created by Pierre Michel Alix in 1802 and later reproduced by Philippe Chery. This particular piece belongs to a private collection and is part of the extensive research on costumes and theatre across different nations. Hermione, portrayed here with grace and elegance, was the daughter of Menelaus and Helen of Troy. Her tragic story unfolds within the context of Greek mythology, as she becomes entangled in a web of love, betrayal, and revenge. As the wife of Orestes, she faces immense challenges that ultimately lead to her downfall. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every fold in Hermione's flowing gown seems to come alive through vibrant colors meticulously applied by hand. The artist has captured her essence perfectly – an embodiment of both vulnerability and strength. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness the grandeur of ancient Greek tragedy brought to life on stage. It serves as a testament not only to Racine's enduring work but also to the artistry involved in creating theatrical productions during that era. This print allows us to appreciate both the beauty inherent in fine art itself as well as its ability to preserve cultural heritage for generations to come.
