EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Poetess, Sappho, Throwing Herself into the Sea" transports us to a moment of profound sadness and despair. Created in 1849 by Mme Gervais and engraved by Henry Emy, this artwork depicts the tragic end of a love affair that has driven the renowned Greek lyric poet Sappho to take her own life. Set against a backdrop of towering cliffs along the Epirus coast on the Ionian Islands, Sappho stands at the edge, ready to leap into the vast expanse of sea below. Dressed in traditional Grecian costume and holding her lyre – symbolizing her musical prowess – she embodies both strength and vulnerability. The artist skillfully captures Sappho's anguish through intricate details: her pained expression, disheveled hair blowing in the wind, and clenched fists.
