EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing artwork titled "Ceyx and Alcyone" by Richard Wilson, a renowned artist of the 18th century. Painted in 1768 with oil on canvas, this masterpiece measures 101.5x127 cm and is housed at the National Museum Wales, under the care of National Museums & Galleries of Wales. The scene depicted in this painting takes us to a breathtaking coast, where crashing waves meet towering cliffs. In this maritime setting, we witness two figures: Ceyx and Alcyone from Greek mythology. The artist skillfully captures their nakedness as they stand bare against nature's might. As the story goes, Ceyx and Alcyone were deeply in love until tragedy struck when Ceyx was lost at sea during a storm. Here, Wilson portrays their anguish through his brushstrokes as he illustrates crashing waves and a shipwreck washed up on the shore. Amidst this dramatic backdrop emerges a kingfisher bird perched upon a cliff—a symbol of hope or perhaps an omen from ancient folklore. This seascape not only tells a tale but also invites viewers to contemplate themes of love, loss, and resilience. With its meticulous attention to detail and evocative storytelling ability, "Ceyx and Alcyone" stands as an exemplary work within Wilson's oeuvre. It transports us back to the early 18th century while reminding us of timeless human emotions that transcend centuries.
