EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Cassandra, Daughter of Priam" we are transported back to the romantic and mythical world of ancient Troy. Created by Richard Woodman in 1845, this print beautifully captures the essence of Cassandra, a figure from Greek mythology known for her clairvoyant abilities and tragic fate. The Victorian era was deeply fascinated with classical tales, and here we see an exquisite portrayal of Cassandra as a young woman dancing gracefully amidst a dreamy backdrop. Her flowing gown hints at her ethereal nature while also reflecting the fashion trends of the time. As a prophetess cursed never to be believed, Cassandra's expression carries both sorrow and wisdom. The artist skillfully portrays her inner turmoil through delicate lines and shading techniques. This engraving invites us into Cassandra's world, where she stands as both an enigmatic figure from mythological lore and a symbol of female strength. Woodman's attention to detail transports us to another era, allowing us to appreciate not only his artistic talent but also the enduring allure of these timeless stories. Whether you are drawn to Victorian aesthetics or have an interest in Greek mythology, this enchanting print is sure to captivate your imagination.
