EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Antigone and the Body of Polynices" by Lachmann, transports us to the tragic world of Sophocles' play. Created in 1880, this image beautifully captures a pivotal moment from Greek mythology. In this scene, we witness Antigone's unwavering devotion to her fallen brother Polynices. Clad in classical Greek dress, she stands before his lifeless body with an expression filled with grief and determination. With one arm raised in a solemn gesture of worship and mourning, Antigone pays homage to her deceased sibling. The black background intensifies the somber atmosphere surrounding this ancient burial ritual. The attention to detail is remarkable; every fold of fabric on Antigone's toga is meticulously rendered by Lachmann's skilled hand. This portrait not only showcases the artist's talent but also reflects the enduring power of Greek tragedy throughout history. It serves as a poignant reminder that even centuries later, these timeless stories continue to captivate audiences worldwide. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time - immersed in both the artistic beauty of Lachmann's work and the emotional depth conveyed through Sophocles' words. This photograph truly encapsulates the essence of human emotion and our eternal fascination with mythological tales.
