About this artwork

This wall sculpture presents The Death of Sappho by late-19th-century Spanish painter Miguel Carbonell Selva. A high-quality black-and-white print of the dramatic composition is protected by acrylic glass and mounted within a handmade cubic metal structure.

Sappho was an ancient Greek poet from Lesbos who lived around 630–570 BC and was sometimes called the Tenth Muse in recognition of her poetry and music. The painting refers to the unverified legend that she threw herself from the cliffs of Leucadia for love. Carbonell Selva's interpretation also reflects the 19th-century artistic idea of the sublime: imagery concerned with elevated, awe-inspiring and overwhelming experience.
