"Paris and Oenone" is an etching by Italian artist Agostino Carracci, who lived from 1557 to 1602. The artwork portrays the mythological lovers Paris and Oenone in an intimate embrace, their passionate embrace echoing the tragic story of their love. This print, executed in the style of the Carracci family, employs a strong sense of chiaroscuro and expressive lines to capture the emotional intensity of this poignant scene. The setting, a rustic landscape, further highlights the theme of love lost and longing.
