EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Sigismonda with the Heart of her Husband" transports us to a world of tragedy and heartache. Engraved by T. W. Shaw, this artwork is part of The Works of Hogarth, published in 1833. Inspired by the fictional character from Boccaccio's Decameron in the 14th century and Dryden's work in the 17th century, Sigismonda's story unfolds before our eyes. She was the daughter of Tancred, Prince of Salerno, who ordered her lover's death and sent his heart to her in a golden goblet. In this poignant scene captured by William Hogarth, we witness Sigismonda consumed by grief as she mourns for her lost love. Her tear-stained face reflects profound sorrow while she clutches the very heart that once beat with passion for her. The artist skillfully portrays Sigismonda at a moment when she contemplates drinking from the goblet containing her lover's heart—a symbol both macabre and tragic. Through this image, we are reminded of human frailty and how love can lead to devastating consequences. As we gaze upon this remarkable lithograph from Hogarth's collection, we cannot help but be moved by Sigismonda's plight—the weighty burden she carries within herself as she navigates through an unimaginable loss. It serves as a timeless reminder that even amidst despair, art has the power to evoke deep emotions within
