EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic moment of the infamous kidnapping of Helena by Paris and the Trojans. In the foreground, a group of determined Trojans can be seen forcefully pulling Helena into a boat, while another figure is seen wearing her distinctive robe, symbolizing her abduction. The intensity of this scene is heightened by the chaotic battle unfolding in the background between the Greeks and Trojans. The Trojan ships lying off the coast add to the sense of impending danger and uncertainty surrounding Helena's fate. On the right side of the image, a majestic palace stands as a reminder of Helen's royal status and significance in this ancient tale. This artwork, titled "Kidnapping Helena" was created by Marco Dente in 1649 using paper engraving techniques. The attention to detail and skillful execution bring this legendary story to life on a medium measuring 296 mm in height and 432 mm in width. As we gaze upon this print from Liszt Collection, we are transported back to an era filled with mythological intrigue and epic battles. It serves as both a visual testament to human passion and desire for power, as well as an enduring reminder that even great beauty can become entangled within tales of war and betrayal.
