EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "Antiochus and Stratonice" transports us to the realm of mythology and love. Created by Gerard de Lairesse during the Dutch Golden Age in the 17th century, this artwork showcases his exceptional talent as an artist. The scene depicted is a poignant one, illustrating the story of Antiochus and Stratonice. In Greek mythology, Antiochus, son of King Seleucus I Nicator of Syria, falls deeply in love with his father's beautiful young wife, Stratonice. Faced with this forbidden passion, Antiochus sacrifices his own happiness for the sake of preserving his father's marriage. Lairesse masterfully captures the emotional turmoil within this classical tale through intricate details and delicate brushwork. The expressions on Antiochus' face reveal both longing and resignation while Stratonice appears torn between her duty as queen and her affection for her stepson. This print is part of a series commissioned for Galerie de Peintres by M Chabert in Paris during 1834. It exemplifies Lairesse's ability to bring ancient stories to life through artistry that transcends time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our private collection, we are reminded of the enduring power that art holds – not only to captivate our senses but also to convey profound human emotions across centuries.
