EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of "The Return of Agamemnon" by Flaxman, an iconic artwork from 1880. In Greek mythology, Agamemnon was a revered king who led the united Greek armed forces during the Trojan War. This image is taken from "Stories from the Greek Tragedies" by Rev. Alfred J. Church, M. A. , published in London that same year. The scene depicted showcases a horse-drawn chariot standing on a country road, with soldiers surrounding it in greeting. The artist skillfully portrays Agamemnon's return through powerful hand gestures and raised arms, symbolizing triumph and victory over adversity. Flaxman's classical style is evident in this portrait as he expertly captures every detail - from the reins held firmly in Agamemnon's hands to the majestic horses pulling his chariot forward. The monochromatic color scheme adds depth and intensity to this dramatic moment. "The Return of Agamemnon" transports us back to ancient Greece, immersing us in its rich mythology and tragic tales. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with these timeless stories that continue to captivate audiences even today. This remarkable print is not only a testament to Flaxman's artistic prowess but also serves as a valuable piece of British cultural heritage from the 19th century.
