EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned painting "The Daughters of Cecrops Finding the Child Erichthonius" by Jacob Jordaens, a prominent Flemish Baroque artist. Currently housed in the esteemed Art History Museum in Vienne, this masterpiece beautifully combines mythology and artistry. Depicting a pivotal moment from Greek mythology, Jordaens skillfully captures the scene where the daughters of King Cecrops discover an extraordinary child named Erichthonius. Painted with meticulous detail and vibrant colors on canvas using oil paints, this artwork exemplifies Jordaens' mastery of his craft. The composition portrays three central figures: Aglaulus, Pandrosus, and Pandrosos - daughters of King Cecrops - as they stumble upon baby Erichthonius hidden inside a woven basket. The expressions on their faces reveal astonishment mixed with curiosity as they gaze upon this mysterious infant who would later become one of Athens' legendary kings. Jordaens expertly weaves together allegory and literature through his portrayal of this mythological event. His attention to minute details such as clothing textures and facial expressions adds depth to each character's personality while emphasizing their roles within the narrative. As viewers engage with this photo print, they are transported into a world where ancient myths come alive through artistic brilliance. It serves as a testament to both Jordaens' talent and the enduring power of classical tales that continue to inspire generations across time.
