EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "Pygmalion and Galatea" created in the early 19th century by Giovanni Beltrami. The glass intaglio piece measures 8.5 x 7.5 cm and is part of a private collection. Beltrami's rendition of this classical mythological tale is truly mesmerizing. The delicate details and masterful craftsmanship are evident in every aspect of this artwork, from the intricate jewelry adorning Galatea to the lifelike expressions on both Pygmalion and Galatea's faces. The use of color adds another layer of beauty to this piece, with vibrant hues bringing life to each element - from the golden gilding on their accessories to the lapis lazuli gemstones that adorn them. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness Pygmalion's love for his creation come alive. It is as if we can feel his longing and desire for Galatea to become real, while she stands before us with an ethereal grace that captivates our hearts. In this moment frozen in glass, there are no people present; it is just us and these mythical figures brought into existence through Beltrami's skillful hands. This print allows us to appreciate not only the artistry but also the rich history behind it. With its timeless beauty, "Pygmalion and Galatea" continues to inspire awe and admiration centuries after
