This is a diptych, called ‘The Oresteia’, depicting two related moments from the Agamemnon.
First is the moment when Agamemnon “puts on the yoke of necessity” and decides to sacrifice his daughter; the second is Iphigeneia when she “struck the sacrificers with the eyes’ arrows of pity” and defiantly begs the not to murder her.
I depicted them as Greek statues, although these statues are entirely imaginary and not based on anything in a museum.
Each canvas is 7′ x 4′.
