EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving, created in 1885 by an American artist named Frederick Stuart Church, depicts the infamous moment when Pandora's Box was opened and unleashed all the evils of the world into existence. Inspired by a painting, this print beautifully captures the essence of this ancient Greek mythological tale. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to a time long ago when gods and goddesses ruled over humanity. The intricate details in each stroke of the engraving bring life to the chaos that unfolds before our eyes. We witness demons and monsters emerging from Pandora's Box with menacing expressions, embodying every form of trouble and despair imaginable. The symbolism within this image is profound. It serves as a reminder that even though women were blamed for releasing these horrors upon mankind, they also possess great strength and resilience to endure such trials. This portrayal challenges societal norms prevalent during its creation. Church's skillful execution allows us to feel both awe-struck by his artistic prowess and unsettled by the dark subject matter at hand. The intensity emanating from this wood engraving is palpable; it evokes emotions ranging from fear to curiosity about what lies beyond those flying evils. In conclusion, "PANDORAs BOX" is not just an ordinary print but rather a visual representation of human nature itself – flawed yet resilient against adversity. It stands as a testament to Church's talent in capturing timeless stories through artistry while reminding us of our own capacity for good amidst evil.
