EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image captures the tragic moment of Procris's death, accidentally killed by her own husband Cephale. In Greek mythology, Procris was struck by an arrow that Cephalus had shot through the thicket while hunting. The sorrow and regret in Cephalus's eyes are palpable as he realizes what he has done to his beloved wife.
The copperplate engraving beautifully depicts the ancient tale of love and loss, showcasing the intricate details of the scene. The sadness and mourning surrounding Procris's untimely demise are evident in every line etched into the print.
As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to a time of mythological characters and epic legends. The story of Procris and Cephalus serves as a reminder of the fragility of life and the consequences of our actions.
Through this illustration, we witness not only a tragic accident but also a profound expression of love and grief. It is a poignant reminder that even in ancient times, human emotions were just as complex and powerful as they are today.
May this image serve as a tribute to Procris's memory and a cautionary tale for all who dare to wield weapons in haste or anger.
