EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching and drypoint print by Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn tells the tragic tale of "Medea, or the Marriage of Jason and Creusa". The artwork measures 23.3x17.7 cm and is part of a private collection. In this scene, we witness the consequences of Jason's betrayal towards his wife, Medea. By marrying Creusa, daughter of King Creon of Corinth, he incurs Medea's wrathful vengeance. As a wedding gift to her rival bride, Medea presents a cursed dress that ultimately leads to Creusa's demise as it engulfs her in flames upon wearing it. Rembrandt masterfully captures the dramatic intensity and emotional turmoil within this composition. The architectural elements surrounding the figures add depth to their story - from the grand columns and canopy framing them to the steps leading up to an altar where their fates intertwine. The artist pays attention to detail in depicting both male and female characters in oriental costumes, highlighting cultural influences on this ancient Greek tragedy. A priest presides over the ceremony while jealousy consumes Medea as she witnesses her husband betraying their sacred bond. Through this print, Rembrandt invites viewers into a world filled with tragedy, vengeance, crown-wearing heroes, and heartbreakingly beautiful scenes that continue to captivate audiences centuries later.
