EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the poignant moment of the blind Oedipus being guided by his devoted daughter, Antigone. Created by Artus Scheiner, this color litho brings to life a scene from Frantisek Ruth's "Pohadky Staroveke" (Ancient Myths) published in Prague around 1920. In this evocative image, we witness the ancient Greek legend of Oedipus and his tragic fate. Despite his blindness and exile into the wilderness, Oedipus finds solace in the unwavering support of his daughter Antigone. With her gentle touch and guiding hand, she leads him through unknown terrain with a staff or stick as they embark on their journey together. The artist skillfully portrays Oedipus' sightless eyes and physical infirmities, emphasizing his vulnerability while highlighting Antigone's strength and loyalty. The contrasting colors add depth to their characters as they stroll amidst an ethereal landscape. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring bond between parent and child, showcasing how love can transcend any disability or hardship. It invites us to reflect on themes of resilience, compassion, and familial devotion that have resonated throughout history. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection courtesy of Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness a timeless tale unfold before our eyes – one that continues to captivate audiences with its universal message of hope amidst adversity.
