EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic figure of Cassandra, a legendary Trojan prophetess from Greek mythology. Created in the 16th century, this woodcut captures the essence of her tragic story. Cassandra, daughter of King Priam and Queen Hecuba of Troy, possessed an extraordinary gift for prophecy. However, when she rejected Apollo's advances, he cursed her so that no one would believe her prophecies, despite their undeniable accuracy. Regarded as a prophetess of doom, Cassandra appears as a prominent character in Homer's epic tales and is also featured in Chaucer's and Shakespeare's versions of the story of Troilus and Cressida. In this print, we see Cassandra portrayed with an air of mystery and wisdom. Her piercing gaze suggests deep insight into the future while carrying the weight of unheeded warnings. The monochrome palette adds to the timeless quality of this depiction. As we observe this image today, it serves as a reminder that even those blessed with foresight can be silenced by forces beyond their control. It invites us to reflect on how often we dismiss valuable insights simply because they come from unexpected sources or challenge our preconceived notions. This remarkable artwork by an unknown creator offers us a glimpse into ancient mythology while reminding us to consider alternative perspectives in our own lives.
