EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white woodcut print, titled "Fight Of Teseo With The Minotauro" takes us back to ancient Greece and the legendary battle between Theseus and the fearsome Minotaur. Created by an unknown artist in the 15th century, this artwork beautifully captures the intensity of the conflict. The scene depicts Teseo (Theseus) locked in combat with the monstrous Minotaur, who is portrayed as a centaur within a maze-like structure made of interlaced wicker fencing. In the background stands the imposing rocca of Cnosso, while on the left we see Ariadne anxiously observing from afar. This woodcut print is taken from Plutarch's "Life of Teseo" published in Venice in 1496. It showcases not only a dramatic battle but also highlights elements of Greek mythology, paganism, and religion prevalent during that era. The image transports us to a time when legends were born and mythological figures held great power over people's imaginations. It serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with ancient tales and our continuous exploration of these timeless stories. With its intricate details and powerful composition, this 15th-century woodcut print offers viewers a glimpse into an epic clash between good and evil. It symbolizes bravery, heroism, and triumph over adversity—a testament to human resilience throughout history.
