EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Greek mythology, we are transported to the realm of Alecto, the infernal goddess of anger and one of the fearsome Erinyes. With snakes entwined in her hair and a fierce expression on her face, she embodies wrath and vengeance like no other. The artist, Jacques Louis Constant Lacerf, skillfully captures her menacing presence as she engages in battle with these serpentine creatures.
Based on an illustration by Leonard Defrance, this etching brings to life the mythical figure of Alecto in all her terrifying glory. The intricate details and hand-colored accents add depth and intensity to the scene, making it truly come alive before our eyes.
As we gaze upon this depiction of Alecto, we can almost feel the power emanating from her as she unleashes her fury upon those who have wronged her. It serves as a reminder of the consequences of anger unchecked and the importance of maintaining balance within ourselves.
This print is not just a work of art; it is a glimpse into ancient beliefs and stories that continue to captivate us to this day. Alecto stands as a symbol of primal emotions that still hold sway over humanity, reminding us that even gods can be consumed by their own passions.
