EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "Antiochus and Stratonike" painted by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres in 1840. The painting, now housed in the Musee Conde at Chantilly, France, depicts a poignant moment from ancient Greek mythology. In this classicist artwork, Ingres skillfully portrays the story of Antiochus I Soter, the King of Seleucus Empire, and his stepmother Stratonike. Antiochus had fallen deeply in love with Stratonike but kept his feelings hidden due to their familial relationship. However, when he fell gravely ill on his sickbed, it became apparent that only one thing could cure him – marrying Stratonike. The artist captures this emotional scene as Antiochus gazes longingly at his beloved stepmother while she stands beside him with a mix of concern and compassion on her face. The painting beautifully conveys unrequited love and the complexities of human emotions. Through meticulous brushwork and vibrant colors rendered in oil on canvas technique, Ingres brings to life an allegory steeped in both literature and history. This fine art piece not only showcases Ingres' mastery but also serves as a testament to the enduring power of mythological tales. With its rich symbolism and timeless beauty, "Antiochus and Stratonike" continues to captivate viewers across generations. It remains an iconic representation of love's complexity within classical artistry.
