EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "La chute d'Ixion (The Fall of Ixion)" by Cornelis van Haarlem. Painted in 1588, this oil on canvas artwork measures 192x152 cm and is housed in the prestigious Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam. In this dramatic scene, we witness Ixion, the king of Lapithes, plunging into the fiery depths of hell. The artist skillfully captures his naked body as it tumbles through space, conveying a sense of both physical and emotional turmoil. The vibrant colors used by van Haarlem bring intensity to the composition, emphasizing the gravity of Ixion's punishment. Derived from Greek mythology, this painting depicts an important moment in Ixion's story. As a mortal who dared to lust after Zeus' wife Hera, he was condemned to eternal suffering in Tartarus for his transgression. Through his artistry, van Haarlem conveys not only Ixion's physical fall but also his anguished shout as he faces his chastisement. This Flemish masterpiece exemplifies the artistic brilliance of the 16th century and showcases van Haarlem's mastery over color and form. It serves as a reminder that art has always been a powerful medium for exploring complex themes such as punishment and human vulnerability.
