EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Passions of Pasiphae" a mesmerizing oil painting by the Master of the Campana Cassoni. The artwork depicts Pasiphae, the wife of King Minos of Crete, and her tumultuous story with Theseus. Measuring 69x182 cm, this masterpiece is housed in the Musee du Petit Palais in Avignon, France. The focal point of the painting is a hollow wooden cow, symbolizing Pasiphae's infamous bestiality and forbidden desires. Surrounding it is a stunning landscape that sets the stage for her passionate tale. The artist skillfully captures Pasiphae's inner turmoil as she grapples with her uncontrollable attraction to a bull. Intriguing elements such as an altar and terrace add depth to the composition, hinting at sacrifice and divine intervention. This evocative portrayal delves into themes of love, lust, and betrayal within Greek mythology. "The Passions of Pasiphae" also pays homage to Daedalus' role in constructing the wooden cow—a testament to his ingenuity as an architect and inventor. The intricate details bring this ancient narrative to life while showcasing the artist's mastery. Through Peter Willi's lens, this print preserves every brushstroke and color nuance from this remarkable piece without compromising its integrity or copyright restrictions.
