EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century oil painting by Louis Moritz depicts the renowned Dutch actresses Joanna Cornelia Ziesenis-Wattier (1762-1827) and Geertruida Jacoba Grevelink-Hilverdink (1786-1827) in their roles as Iphigenia and Clytemnestra, respectively, in Jean Racine's classic tragic play "Iphigenie" (1674). The painting, which dates from around 1800-1813, showcases the actresses in authentic ancient Greek costumes, adding an air of authenticity to their powerful performances. Ziesenis-Wattier, dressed in a chiton and himation, raises her hand in a dramatic gesture, while Grevelink-Hilverdink, wearing a chlamys and peplos, gazes intently at her. Both women exhibit intricately styled hairstyles, with elaborate headdresses and braids, adding to their regal and mythological appearance. The rich colors and textures of their costumes, as well as the expressive facial expressions and body language of the actresses, convey the intensity and emotion of the play. The painting is a testament to the skill and artistry of both the actors and the painter, Louis Moritz. Moritz expertly captures the essence of the characters and the drama of the play, making this a truly remarkable work of art from the Netherlands in the nineteenth century. The painting is now part of the esteemed collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it continues to captivate audiences and inspire appreciation for the rich heritage of Dutch theater and art.
