EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Salmacis and Hermaphrodite" from the renowned Game of Mythology (Jeu de la Mythologie) collection, created by Stefano della Bella in 1644. The image transports us to the enchanting realm of Greek mythology, where love and desire intertwine. In this scene, we witness the seductive power of Salmacis, a nymph known for her irresistible allure. With delicate etching strokes, Bella captures the moment when Salmacis embraces Hermaphrodite, a mythical figure embodying both male and female attributes. Their bodies merge as one in an intimate embrace symbolizing their eternal union. Bella's masterful technique brings out every intricate detail - from the flowing robes to the ethereal expressions on their faces. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to this timeless depiction of passion. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to an era filled with mythical wonders. It serves as a reminder that love knows no boundaries or limitations – transcending gender norms and societal expectations. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print is not only a testament to Bella's artistic genius but also a celebration of classical mythology's enduring influence on art throughout history. It invites us to explore our own understanding of love, identity, and desire while appreciating the rich cultural heritage passed down through generations.
