Oedipus and Antigone

Artist: Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg (Danish, 1783–1853)

Genre: Mythological Art

Date: 1812

Media: Oil on Canvas

Collection: The National Museum in Stockholm

Description

In this painting of Oedipus and Antigone from 1812, Eckersberg presents a doting and concerned Antigone and an elderly Oedipus who is visibly very frail. Oedipus nonetheless shoulders the burden of carrying some heavy clothing on his back, while Antigone walks more freely, albeit while expending energy tending to her father. I love the bright colours in this scene, but also the way Eckersberg manages to capture the melancholy of both characters and the tenderness between them. On they go, in sadness, across the bridge.

In Greek mythology Antigone is a Theban princess and a character in several ancient Greek tragedies. She is the daughter of Oedipus, king of Thebes; her mother is either Jocasta or, in another variation of the myth, Euryganeia. She is a sister of Polynices, Eteocles, and Ismene. The meaning of the name is, as in the case of the masculine equivalent Antigonus, "in place of one's parents" or "worthy of one's parents".

A Storm

Artist: Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg (Danish, 1783–1853)

Genre: Genre Art

Date: 1845

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Collection: Kunst Museum Panbo, Denmark

Description

Christoffer Wilhelm carried out a painting in which he further varied the street scene with figures in windy weather. In the painting, which Eckersberg himself dubbed" A Storm", he tried to paint a phenomenon, which no painters have previously painted, dust clouds swirl up from the street because of the strong wind". A group of people are exposed to the dust and the wind. Two women have difficulty keeping their scarves on their heads and a gentleman tries to keep his hat on his head, while a little street urchin (gadedreng) is running after his hat.
