EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Medea rejuvenates Eson" takes us back to the enchanting world of Greek mythology. The image, captured from a collection of engravings and etchings by Richard Fisher in 1879, depicts the powerful sorceress Medea performing her extraordinary magic on Eson. In this mesmerizing scene, Medea stands before an ornately decorated altar, surrounded by flickering flames and a bubbling cauldron. With her mystical powers at their peak, she is seen draining Eson's blood into the cauldron as part of her rejuvenation spell. As the male figure lies motionless on the altar, his features worn with age and fatigue, Medea channels ancient forces to restore his youthfulness. This portrayal beautifully captures both the intensity and elegance of Bernard Salomon's original lithograph from 16th-century France. The intricate details in every element - from Medea's flowing robes to the meticulously adorned surroundings - transport us deep into this mythical realm. The image draws inspiration from Jean de Tournes' "La Metamorphose d'Ovide Figuree a Lyon" published in 1557. It showcases Medea's pivotal role in Greek legend as she breathes new life into Eson, who happens to be Jason's father. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry preserved within a private collection today, we are reminded of how timeless myths continue to captivate our imagination through visual storytelling like never before.
