Lycius, Look Back, and Be Some Pity Shown
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print created by Will H. Low in 1885. This image transports us back to ancient Greece, depicting a scene inspired by John Keats' poem "Lamia". The artwork showcases the artist's exceptional talent for capturing emotion and storytelling through his illustrations. In this mesmerizing piece, we see a male figure named Lycius turning his head to look back with an expression of longing on his face. A female character stands before him, her delicate features reflecting both beauty and mystery. The woman's gaze is filled with compassion as she extends her hand towards Lycius, evoking a sense of pity. Low skillfully uses gouache on cream wood pulp laminate board to create depth and texture in this grayscale composition. His attention to detail brings each figure to life while maintaining an antique aesthetic that adds historical significance. This artwork not only showcases the artist's technical prowess but also pays homage to Greek mythology and literature. It invites viewers into a world where poetry intertwines with visual artistry, creating a harmonious blend of culture and creativity. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago, this print serves as a reminder of the enduring power of artistic expression throughout history. It allows us to appreciate the rich heritage art has provided humanity over centuries while reminding us that emotions such as love, longing, and empathy are timeless themes that resonate across cultures and time periods.
