EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Rodrigo, a prominent character from Pierre Corneille's renowned play "Le Cid". Engraved by the talented Alexandre Marie Colin, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of Rodrigo as a tragic hero and warrior. Rodrigo stands tall and proud in his Spanish knight attire, wearing a tunic adorned with intricate heraldic symbols. His hauberk, made of chainmail, adds an air of invincibility to his presence. With one hand resting on his hip and the other gripping the hilt of his sword, he exudes confidence and strength. The artist skillfully depicts Rodrigo against a backdrop featuring a majestic lion - symbolizing courage and nobility - further emphasizing his heroic nature. The attention to detail is impeccable; every line etched into the print brings out the intensity in Rodrigo's expression. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to 17th-century France where tragedy unfolds on stage. This print not only pays homage to Corneille's masterpiece but also serves as a testament to Colin's talent as an engraver. Displayed in private collections around the world, this timeless artwork continues to captivate audiences with its portrayal of bravery and honor. It reminds us that even amidst turmoil and conflict, heroes like Rodrigo emerge – ready to fight for what they believe in.
