Artemisia Building the Mausoleum, Early 1640s
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases a remarkable painting from the Nationalmuseum Stockholm's collection. Created in France during the Baroque period, this exquisite piece of art depicts Artemisia II of Caria passionately engaged in constructing the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus. The artist, Simon Vouet (1590-1649), skillfully captures Artemisia's determination and devotion as she oversees the construction of one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Painted with meticulous detail on canvas using oil, this masterpiece beautifully combines allegory and literature to convey a sense of grandeur and mythological significance. The mausoleum itself was built as a tomb for Artemisia's late husband, Mausolus, hence its name "Mausolleion". Standing tall in Caria, it became an architectural marvel renowned throughout history. This painting not only pays homage to this extraordinary structure but also immortalizes Artemisia II herself – a powerful queen who played an instrumental role in its creation. As you admire this fine art image, let your imagination transport you back to ancient times when wonders like these were being constructed. Marvel at Artemisia's unwavering dedication and envision yourself standing before this awe-inspiring monument that has captivated generations with its beauty and historical significance.
