Erigone is a notable painting by the French artist Étienne Jeaurat, who was active during the 18th century. Jeaurat, born in 1699 and passing in 1789, was a prolific painter known for his genre scenes, historical subjects, and portraits. His work often reflected the Rococo style, characterized by lightness, elegance, and an exuberant use of color and detail.

The painting "Erigone" draws its subject from classical mythology, specifically the tragic story of Erigone, the daughter of Icarius of Athens. According to myth, Icarius was a follower of Dionysus and was taught the art of winemaking by the god himself. When Icarius shared his wine with local shepherds, they became intoxicated and, believing they had been poisoned, killed him. Erigone, guided by her faithful dog Maera, discovered her father's body and, in her grief, hanged herself. The gods, moved by their plight, transformed them into constellations: Icarius became Boötes, Erigone became Virgo, and Maera became Canis Major.

Jeaurat's interpretation of this mythological tale is imbued with the emotional depth and dramatic intensity characteristic of his work. The painting captures the poignant moment of Erigone's despair, highlighting her innocence and the tragic consequences of misunderstanding and loss. Through his masterful use of composition, color, and light, Jeaurat conveys the sorrow and beauty of the myth, inviting viewers to reflect on themes of love, loyalty, and fate.

"Erigone" stands as a testament to Jeaurat's skill in blending narrative and emotion, making it a significant piece within his oeuvre and a fine example of 18th-century French painting. The work continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and its evocative portrayal of a timeless mythological story.
