EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Cadmus Sets Out or Partenza de Cadmo in Traccia di Europa, Book III" takes us on a visual journey through Greek mythology. Created by Luigi Ademollo in 1832, this hand-coloured engraving is an exquisite representation of the story found in Ovid's Metamorphoses. In this scene, we witness the departure of Cadmus, Europa's brother and a valiant warrior. Banished for his inability to rescue his sister, Cadmus embarks on a new chapter of his life as he establishes the city of Boeotia. Clad in armor that symbolizes strength and determination, he stands tall with an air of resilience. Ademollo's attention to detail brings this mythological tale to life. The intricate engravings beautifully capture the essence of classical antiquity while adding depth and texture through careful hand-colouring techniques. As we gaze upon this print from the comfort of our own private collection, we are transported back to ancient times where gods and heroes roamed freely. It serves as a reminder of the timeless power that myths hold over our imagination and collective consciousness. This stunning piece not only showcases Ademollo's artistic prowess but also invites us to reflect on themes such as bravery, exile, and rebirth – concepts that resonate with us even today.
