EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Ghost of Clytemnestra Awakening the Furies" we are transported to a world of ancient mythology and intense emotions. The image, signed and dated in black paint by the talented British artist John Downman in 1781, showcases his mastery in capturing the essence of classical subjects. The ghostly figure of Clytemnestra emerges from a sea of darkness, her mask-like face hauntingly beautiful yet filled with anguish. Clad in tattered rags that cling to her sweat-drenched body, she stands as a symbol of remorse and guilt. The play between light and shadow adds an ethereal quality to the scene, enhancing its dramatic impact. Surrounding Clytemnestra are three women representing the Furies - mythical creatures known for their relentless pursuit of vengeance. Their serpentine bodies intertwine like living sculptures, their eyes glowing with an otherworldly intensity. This religious and mythological subject is brought to life through Downman's skillful use of color and texture. "The Ghost of Clytemnestra Awakening the Furies" is not just a mere depiction but rather an exploration into human nature's darkest corners. It serves as a reminder that our actions have consequences that can haunt us long after they occur. This print from Liszt Collection captures both the artistic brilliance of John Downman and the timeless power behind ancient myths. It invites us to delve into our own inner turmoil while marveling at the enduring relevance these stories hold even
