EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Walter Crane, a renowned English painter from the 19th century. Titled "Pandora" this watercolour on paper masterpiece depicts a mythological figure from ancient Greece. The painting measures an impressive 53.3x73.6 centimeters and is part of a private collection. Intriguingly, Crane's portrayal of Pandora delves into various themes and symbols that have fascinated humanity for centuries. The nakedness of the woman symbolizes vulnerability while her casket represents curiosity, both serving as cautionary reminders in Greek mythology. The artist skillfully weaves together elements such as misfortune, vice, death, old age, and allegory to create a thought-provoking composition that explores the human condition. Additionally, references to paganism and religion add depth to this mesmerizing piece. Crane's work also alludes to the concept of malediction and lies through his depiction of Pandora opening the forbidden casket containing seven deadly sins. This evokes contemplation about the consequences of succumbing to temptation. With its rich symbolism and masterful execution, this painting serves as a visual feast for art enthusiasts seeking profound narratives within classical mythology. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every intricate detail in this photograph print from their extensive collection at eFine Art Images.
