EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil on copper painting by Hans Rottenhammer. This exquisite artwork, measuring 25.4x35 cm, can be found at the Fitzwilliam Museum in the University of Cambridge, UK. In this mesmerizing scene from Greek mythology, we witness a fierce competition between two powerful gods – Apollo and Pan. The artist skillfully captures their contrasting personalities and physical appearances. Apollo, the god of music and poetry, stands tall with his lyre in hand while exuding confidence and grace. On the other hand, Pan, the mischievous god of nature and rustic music, appears more wild and untamed with his goat-like features. Surrounding these mythical figures are cherubs or putti who add an element of innocence to this intense contest. Satyrs also make an appearance in this wooded landscape as they observe the spectacle unfolding before them. Rottenhammer's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke as he brings this mythological tale to life. The play of light on copper adds depth to the composition while enhancing its ethereal quality. This painting not only showcases Rottenhammer's artistic prowess but also serves as a reminder of ancient legends that continue to captivate our imagination today. It invites us into a world where gods compete for supremacy amidst lush landscapes filled with fantastical creatures. "The Contest of Apollo and Pan" is truly a masterpiece that transports viewers back in time through its rich symbolism and masterful
