About the Item
The suppliant of antiquity sought protection or mercy at the alter of gods or at the feet of kings. The once great hero Iolaus, cousin and adventuring partner of Heracles, was one such suppliant portrayed in the play "The Heracleidae" by Euripedes. Now a refugee, with the endangered family of the deceased Heracles in toe, the aged man finds his last resort at the alter of Zeus near Athens. That perennial enemy of Heracles, Eurystheus has pursued the group all over Greece, threatening all who might give them respite. Will the king of Athens, a son of Theseus, or the gods help them in their plight, or will Iolaus find his old strength again? Title:"The Suppliant" Artist: Derek Overfield Above is a semi-abstract figurative work done from life. The work is completed using a subtractive/additive method utilizing latex paint. The piece is sold unstretched. It can be restretched either inexpensively at a frame shop or DIY and presented in a gallery wrap style. It ships in a sturdy tube, rolled. Statement " and around his head the fair goddess set thick a golden cloud, and forth from the man made blaze a gleaming fire... there he stood and shouted... and when they heard the brazen voice of the son of Aeacus the hearts of all were dismayed." - Homer, The Iliad My work is influenced by the classical and the romantic, the archaic and the modern - and strives for the monumental, divine and quietly brutal. Through paint and line I seek to capture the light of existence, that "gleaming fire", as well as to portray its gravity. I strive to celebrate the figure, its mysterious power and charisma. Like a purging fire, I hope to burn away the ornament, the unnecessary, in order to expose the purity beneath. :: Painting :: Contemporary :: This piece comes with an official certificate of authenticity signed by the artist :: Ready to Hang: No :: Signed: Yes :: Signature Location: Back lower right :: Canvas :: Landscape :: Original :: Framed: No
