EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece titled "Oeneus, King of Calydon. . is Punished for his Impiety" by artist Bernard Picart. Created in 1733, this engraving is a plate from Le temple des Muses, Amsterdam. The artwork can be found in the esteemed collection of Jean Claude Carriere. The image depicts an elderly monarch, Oeneus, kneeling outside as he faces punishment for neglecting Diana during a sacrifice - an act considered impious. Clad in royal robes that exude regality and authority, Oeneus appears humbled before the goddess Artemis (Diana), who stands tall and powerful beside him. This illustration transports us to ancient Greece where religious devotion held immense significance. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and intensity to the scene while emphasizing its historical context. The intricate details captured through engraving techniques highlight the skillful artistry of Bernard Picart. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of Greek mythology's enduring influence on art and culture throughout history. It serves as a poignant reminder that even kings are subject to divine justice when they disregard their religious duties. With its rich symbolism and masterful execution, this print invites viewers to contemplate themes of punishment, religion, power dynamics, and human fallibility within society's hierarchical structures. A true testament to Picart's talent as an artist and storyteller.
