EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "HOMER: THE ILIAD. The meeting of Hector and Andromache" takes us back to an early ancient time, immersing us in the world of Homer's epic poem, the Iliad. The line engraving, created in 1805 by James Parker after a drawing by John Flaxman, beautifully captures a poignant moment between two central characters. In this illustration, we witness the emotional reunion of Hector and Andromache. Hector, adorned with his helmet and shield, stands tall as a noble warrior while Andromache gazes up at him with love and admiration. Their connection is palpable; their romance transcends the chaos of war that surrounds them. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable – from the intricate clothing draped over their bodies to the carefully etched spear held firmly in Hector's hand. Each element adds depth and authenticity to this portrayal of ancient life. As we delve into this image further, our eyes are drawn to a baby cradled gently in Andromache's arms. This serves as a reminder that even amidst battlefields and bloodshed, there exists tenderness and humanity. Through this powerful artwork inspired by Homer's masterpiece, we are transported back centuries ago – witnessing not only an encounter between two individuals but also capturing the essence of human emotions that transcend time itself.
