EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Echo has her voice changed to sound like an old woman" by Bernard Picart takes us back to the enchanting world of ancient mythology. The image, an engraved illustration from Picart's book "The Temple of the Muses" beautifully captures a remarkable event from Ovid's Metamorphoses. In this mythological tale, Echo, a mythological figure known for her loquaciousness and inability to speak independently, undergoes a transformation. As depicted in the engraving, Echo's voice is magically altered to resemble that of an elderly woman. This momentous change adds depth and complexity to her character. Picart's intricate artwork transports us to the 18th century with its meticulous attention to detail and classical aesthetics. The delicate engravings showcase his mastery as he brings these legendary events of antiquity to life. Through this image, we are reminded of the power and allure of myths - they serve as allegories that inspire our imagination and offer reflections on human nature. The presence of other mythological characters such as Narcissus and Juno further enriches the narrative woven within this piece. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into a world where gods and goddesses interact with mortals, where love intertwines with tragedy, and where voices can be transformed by divine intervention. It serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and a gateway into exploring ancient tales that continue to captivate us today.
