EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of "Scylla" a remarkable sculpture created by the talented Giovanni Angelo da Montorsoli. Housed in the Regional Museum of Messina, this masterpiece stands as a testament to the Mannerism and Renaissance-Baroque styles that defined Europe during the first and second millenniums. The date of this intriguing artwork is 1557, showcasing Montorsoli's exceptional skill in bringing mythological creatures to life. Scylla, a hybrid figure from Greco-Roman mythology, is depicted here with meticulous attention to detail. The artist masterfully portrays her desperation through her contorted body language and intense facial expression. As we delve into the psychological aspects of this piece, we are drawn to explore human psychology itself. Scylla's portrayal reflects an individual grappling with inner turmoil, evoking feelings of empathy within us all. This amalgamation of physiological and psychological elements creates a thought-provoking experience for viewers. The photograph itself was captured in 1929 by Alinari Fratelli, who expertly conveys every intricate nuance present in Montorsoli's sculpture. Through their lens, we can appreciate not only the artistic brilliance but also the historical significance encapsulated within this work. "Scylla" serves as a bridge between different artistic periods while embodying both grace and power simultaneously associated with Mannerism and Renaissance-Baroque styles. It stands tall as an enduring symbol of European artistry throughout centuries past.
