EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the mythical moment of Myrra, transformed into a tree, giving birth to Adonis. The intricate copperplate engraving by W. Walker beautifully depicts this ancient Greek tale of love and tragedy. Myrrha, also known as Smyrna in some versions of the myth, was cursed by Aphrodite to fall in love with her own father. Desperate to escape her fate, she sought refuge in the form of a myrrh tree. From this transformation emerged Adonis, a symbol of beauty and desire. The delicate lines and shading in this engraving bring to life the emotional intensity of Myrra's sacrifice and Adonis' miraculous birth. The intricate details in the foliage and branches evoke a sense of growth and rebirth amidst the tragic circumstances. As we gaze upon this scene from antiquity, we are reminded of the enduring power of mythology to explore complex themes such as love, betrayal, and transformation. The fusion of artistry and storytelling in this print invites us to reflect on our own relationships with nature, family, and destiny. Let us immerse ourselves in the timeless allure of this mythological masterpiece, where human emotions intertwine with divine forces to create a narrative that resonates across centuries.
