EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Cassandra predicts the downfall of Troy" transports us back to ancient Greece and the legendary city of Troy. Created by the talented artist Bernard Picart in 1731, this piece can be found in the esteemed collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The scene depicted is filled with tension and foreboding as Cassandra, a prophetess cursed never to be believed, reveals her chilling prophecy. Surrounded by an array of characters from Greek mythology such as Paris, Hector, and Priam, Cassandra's words hang heavy in the air. The intricate copper engraving technique used by Picart brings each figure to life with remarkable detail. Picart's work beautifully captures both the grandeur and tragedy that define Homer's epic poems, particularly "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey". The rococo style employed adds an element of elegance to this dramatic moment from ancient history. As we gaze upon this fine art image today, we are reminded of the enduring power of mythological tales. This print serves as a visual allegory for human folly and hubris—a warning against ignoring prophecies or dismissing wisdom when it is offered freely. With its rich symbolism and historical significance, this artwork continues to captivate viewers centuries after its creation. It stands as a testament to both Picart's artistic skill and his ability to breathe new life into age-old stories through his masterful use of graphic arts.
