Portrait of King Oedipus is an original etching realized by Giacomo Manzù in 1970. Limited edition series, numbered on the lower left: 31/125. The state of preservation is very good. Giacomo Manzù (Bergamo, 22 dicembre 1908 – Roma, 17 gennaio 1991), pseudonym of Giacomo Manzoni, one of the greatest sculptors of the twentieth century. Oedipus King, "Oedipus Tyrannus", is a tragedy by the ancient Greek tragedist Sophocles, a masterpiece and one of the most paradigmatic example of the mechanisms of the Greek tragedy. Of Sophocles's three "Theban Plays" that have survived and that deal with the story of Oedipus, Oedipus King was the second to be written. However, in terms of the chronology of events that the plays describe, it comes first, followed by "Oedipus at Colonus" and "Antigone". This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
issues arising from misattribution
