Medee thinking of killing her children Marble sculpture by Tommaso Solari (1820-1897) 1863. Dim. 60x80x38 cm From the collection of Prince Odone di Savoia. Genes, Art Gallery Moderna, inv. 744. This marble sculpture by Tommaso Solari depicts a haunting moment from Greek mythology - Medee contemplating the unthinkable act of killing her own children. The artist skillfully captures the emotional turmoil and inner conflict within Medee's expression as she grapples with this horrific decision. Solari's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this piece, from the delicate carving of each figure to the intricate folds in their clothing. The composition is both dynamic and balanced, drawing our gaze towards Medee while also emphasizing the vulnerability and innocence of her young children. The use of marble adds a sense of timelessness to the sculpture, enhancing its dramatic impact and evoking a connection to classical art forms. This particular print comes from the esteemed collection of Prince Odone di Savoia, further adding to its historical significance. As we contemplate this artwork, we are reminded not only of ancient myths but also how timeless themes such as love, sacrifice, and despair continue to resonate with us today. Solari's masterful craftsmanship brings these emotions vividly to life through his sculptural interpretation. Displayed at Genoa's Art Gallery Moderna, this piece invites viewers into a world where mythological characters become tangible beings that stir our deepest emotions.
