Medea

About this artwork

Medea

42x16x17.5 in

Bronze Sculpture

1980

Medea was the daughter of King Aeëtes of Cholchis and was known as a sorceress. When Jason on his quest for the Golden Fleece landed on Cohchis. Medea fell in love with him and promised to help him in exchange for marriage. Years later at home in Corinth after having several children with Medea, Jason abandons her for Glauce, the King’s daughter. In a fit of revenge, she kills their beloved children. The viewer sees Medea from the vantage point a (her) child would. The eye level texture is smooth and cold and unyielding. Her gaze is tortuously turned away in an icy resolve. In her hands (that give the impression of being bound) is a weapon-like object.
