EDITORS COMMENTS
This color lithograph captures the tragic tale of Niobe transformed into the Weeping Rock. The artwork, created by Artus Scheiner, depicts a scene from ancient Greek mythology and is part of a private collection. In this illustration from "Pohadky Staroveke" (Ancient Myths) by Frantisek Ruth, we witness the sorrowful fate of Niobe. According to legend, Niobe was a proud queen who boasted about her many children in front of Leto, mother of Apollo and Artemis. As punishment for her hubris, the gods took away all her children and turned Niobe into stone on Mount Sipylus. The image showcases a magnificent waterfall flowing down the rocky mountain as tears cascade from Niobe's eyes. The stream symbolizes her eternal grief and mourning for her lost offspring. With exquisite detail and vibrant colors, Scheiner brings this poignant mythological moment to life. Niobe's transformation into the Weeping Rock serves as a reminder of the consequences that pride can bring upon oneself. This print evokes feelings of empathy for Niobe's immense sorrow while also showcasing nature's ability to capture human emotions through its majestic waterfalls. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are transported back in time to ancient Greece where legends like these were woven into their culture and beliefs. It is an extraordinary piece that beautifully encapsulates both tragedy and beauty within one frame.
