EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the tragic scene of "The Death of Alcestis" a masterpiece by Angelika Kauffman. Created in 1796, this hand-coloured etching showcases the artist's exceptional talent and attention to detail. In this poignant depiction, we witness Alcestis, a mythological figure from ancient Rome, on the brink of death. The female protagonist is shown swooning and fainting as her life force slowly fades away. The composition exudes a sense of tragedy and romance, evoking deep emotions within the viewer. Kauffman's work draws inspiration from classical literature and mythology, particularly Virgil's Aeneid. This connection adds layers of meaning to the piece, highlighting themes such as sacrifice and heroism. Francesco Bartolozzi skillfully translates Kauffman's vision into an exquisite etching that combines engraving and stipple engraving techniques. The result is a visually stunning artwork that captivates with its intricate details and delicate colors. Displayed in a private collection, this print allows us to appreciate the beauty and power of Kauffman's artistic genius. It serves as a reminder of the enduring impact that mythological tales have had on our collective imagination throughout history.
