EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Minga's masterpiece, "Deucalion and Pyrrha" created in 1572. The artwork depicts a pivotal moment in Greek mythology when Deucalion and Pyrrha are tasked with repopulating the Earth after a devastating flood. The image showcases the intricate details of this Mannerist painting, housed within the magnificent Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, Italy. Andrea di Mariotto del Minga's talent shines through as he skillfully portrays the veiled figures of Deucalion and Pyrrha standing before an ancient temple. Their faces remain hidden behind blindfolds, symbolizing their reliance on divine guidance. The study-like composition adds depth to the scene, emphasizing every rock and crevice surrounding them. It is as if we are transported into Studiolo di Francesco I, where this remarkable piece was originally displayed. Raffaello Bencini's expert photography brings out the richness of colors on this slate artwork while preserving its historical significance. This print allows us to appreciate Minga's artistic prowess from centuries ago. As we gaze upon this extraordinary image, we can't help but marvel at how art has always been a medium for storytelling throughout history. "Deucalion and Pyrrha" serves as a timeless reminder of our human resilience and our eternal quest for rebirth amidst adversity.
