EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching by Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn depicts the dramatic scene of "Medea, or The Marriage of Jason and Creuse" from Greek mythology. Measuring 24 x 17.4 cm, this artwork is housed in the Fondation Glenat in Grenoble, France. The baroque style of this piece is evident through its intricate details and dynamic composition. In the foreground, we see a lot of people gathered for a celebration, wearing elaborate crowns that signify their regal status. Among them stands Medea herself, a powerful woman exuding an air of femininity and strength. The atmosphere is filled with excitement as the party-goers engage in festivities to commemorate this grand wedding ceremony. However, beneath the surface lies a complex web of emotions - jealousy being one prominent feeling depicted here. Legend has it that Medea's husband Jason betrayed her by marrying Creuse, which ignited Medea's intense jealously and desire for revenge. This mythic tale has been immortalized through various art forms throughout history. Rembrandt masterfully captures these emotions through his expert engraving techniques, bringing life to this ancient Greek legend within a seventeenth-century Dutch context. This print serves as both a testament to Rembrandt's artistic prowess and an enduring reminder of the timeless power held within myths and legends from antiquity
