EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing painting "Oedipus and Antigone or The Plague of Thebes" by Charles Francois Jalabert. With its rich colors and intricate details, this oil on canvas masterpiece transports us to ancient Greece, immersing us in the world of Greek mythology. The scene depicted is one of profound tragedy and familial bonds. Oedipus, the ill-fated protagonist, stands tall in his toga and sandals, while his daughter Antigone gazes up at him with a mix of love and sorrow. Their expressions convey a complex range of emotions - anguish, regret, but also an unbreakable connection between father and daughter. The title itself hints at the dark tale that unfolds within this artwork. It alludes to the devastating plague that ravaged Thebes as punishment for Oedipus' unknowing incestuous relationship with his mother Jocasta. This mythological narrative has captivated audiences for centuries due to its exploration of fate, free will, and the consequences of our actions. Jalabert's skillful brushstrokes bring life to these legendary characters while capturing their inner turmoil. The attention to detail is remarkable; every fold in their garments seems tangible, every expression hauntingly real. Displayed at Musee des Beaux-Arts in Marseille, France, this painting serves as a timeless reminder of humanity's eternal struggle against destiny's cruel hand. It invites viewers into a world where gods toy with mortals'
