Atossa's Dream, 1880
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to ancient Greece. Created by the talented artist Flaxman, this artwork depicts Atossa, an influential Achaemenid empress and daughter of Cyrus the Great. The image beautifully captures her reclining form against a black background, evoking a sense of mystery and intrigue. In this classical Greek scene, Atossa appears naked and vulnerable, symbolizing her connection to nature and the divine. Her dream-like state is portrayed with elegance as she lies on a royal chariot being pulled by two men along a deserted road. The contrast between her regal presence and the broken landscape suggests both power and tragedy. Flaxman's attention to detail brings this mythological story to life. Every brushstroke reveals his mastery in capturing emotions through color and composition. This 19th-century British artwork showcases Flaxman's deep understanding of Greek mythology while paying homage to the literary work "Stories from the Greek Tragedies" by Rev. Alfred J. Church. This remarkable print serves as an artistic representation of Atossa's significance within Achaemenid history and Greek mythology alike. It invites viewers into a world where dreams intertwine with reality, where powerful women shape their destinies amidst adversity.
