EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of envy, as depicted in William Hamilton's artwork "Envy from Ovids House of Envy". Created in the 18th century, this allegorical figure portrays a powerful and intense emotion. The image showcases an elderly woman consumed by fury and anger, her face contorted with jealousy. Hamilton's skillful use of color brings life to this drawing. The vibrant hues evoke a sense of intensity and urgency, reflecting the depth of envy portrayed. The artist masterfully captures every detail, from the intricate lines that depict the woman's flowing hair to her expressive hand gestures. The juxtaposition on the verso reveals another layer to this artwork - a naked woman. This contrasting image adds complexity and symbolism to Hamilton's portrayal of envy. It invites viewers to contemplate themes such as vulnerability and self-perception. As we gaze upon this piece, we are reminded of Ovid's words from his book "House of Envy" where he explores human emotions through mythological tales. Through Hamilton's interpretation, we witness how envy can consume one's soul like a snake slithering through grass - relentless and destructive. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print allows us to appreciate not only Hamilton's artistic talent but also his ability to capture universal human experiences through visual storytelling. It serves as a timeless reminder that envy is an emotion capable of both driving individuals forward or tearing them apart if left unchecked.
