EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Henry Fuseli's masterpiece, "Oedipus Colonus Cursing Son Polynices". Created in 1777 using pen, brown ink, brush, gray wash, traces of black chalk underdrawing on a sheet measuring 10 3/16 x 13 1/2 inches (258 x 343 cm), this drawing is a testament to the artistic brilliance of the Swiss-born artist. Fuseli's depiction captures a pivotal moment from Greek mythology where Oedipus curses his son Polynices. The intricate details and expert use of various mediums bring this dramatic scene to life. Every stroke of the pen and brush adds depth and emotion to the characters' expressions. The fusion of light and shadow creates an atmosphere that intensifies the tension between father and son. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness their tragic confrontation firsthand. Henry Fuseli was renowned for his ability to portray complex emotions through art. Born in Zurich in 1741 but later settling in London, he became one of history's most influential artists. This particular piece exemplifies his mastery by capturing both physicality and psychological turmoil within a single frame. Artokoloro has done justice to Fuseli's work with this high-quality print from their Liszt Collection. It allows us all to appreciate the genius behind "Oedipus Colonus Cursing Son Polynices" without commercial distractions or limitations.
