EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Greek mythology with its depiction of Megere, one of the Erinyes or Furies known for her jealousy. The intricate details in this etching by Jacques Louis Constant Lacerf, based on an illustration by Leonard Defrance, bring to life the sinister attributes associated with Megere - a dagger and a snake. The hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases Megere in all her malevolent glory, poised with her dagger ready to strike at any moment. The snake coiled around her arm adds an element of danger and deceit, emphasizing her role as a goddess of jealousy and vengeance. As one of the infernal deities who punished those guilty of crimes such as murder and perjury, Megere embodies the darker side of human nature. Her presence serves as a reminder that envy and spite can lead to destructive consequences if left unchecked. This print is not just a work of art but also a window into ancient beliefs and superstitions surrounding divine figures like Megere. It is a testament to the enduring power of Greek mythology and its ability to captivate audiences even centuries after its creation.
