EDITORS COMMENTS
Mazeppa," an evocative woodcut print by the renowned German artist Alexander von Wagner (1838-1919), brings to life the legendary figure of Ivan Mazepa, a historical and literary icon deeply rooted in Ukrainian and European folklore. This work of art, now part of a private collection, is a testament to Wagner's mastery of allegory and literature, as well as his exceptional skills in book design. Based on the famous poem "Mazeppa" by Lord Byron, published in 1819, Wagner's print depicts the daring and defiant Cossack leader Ivan Mazepa, who, according to legend, was betrayed by his ally, Peter the Great, and was punished by being tied naked to the back of a wild horse and left to roam the steppes of Ukraine. The allegorical image of Mazepa, with his wild hair flowing in the wind and his determined gaze fixed on the horizon, embodies the spirit of rebellion, freedom, and the indomitable will of the human spirit. The intricate details of the woodcut print, with its bold lines, rich textures, and expressive use of light and shadow, transport the viewer to the mythical landscapes of Poltava and Hungary, where the legend of Mazepa unfolds. Wagner's masterful interpretation of Byron's poem, with its vivid imagery and powerful symbolism, continues to inspire and captivate audiences, making this woodcut print a true treasure of fine art and graphic arts. Alexander von Wagner's "Mazeppa" is not only a visual representation of a legendary figure but also a testament to the enduring power of literature and the arts to shape our collective imagination and inspire new generations of artists and thinkers. This exquisite woodcut print is a must-have for any serious collector of fine art, mythology, or literature, and is sure to be a conversation starter and a source of inspiration for years to come.
