EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Francesco Trevisani's masterpiece, "Latona and the Frogs". Painted with oil on copper, this artwork measures 16.1x26.3 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The image depicts Latona, the mother of Apollo and Diana, surrounded by Greek peasants and a frightened child. In Greek mythology, Latona was transformed into a frog after angering Zeus' jealous wife Hera. Seeking refuge from her tormentors, she arrived at a lake where peasants refused to let her drink its water. In response to their cruelty, Latona called upon her divine children for aid. Trevisani skillfully captures this pivotal moment as frogs emerge from the lake while an infant clings fearfully to his mother's side. The artist expertly portrays the tension between mythological figures and ordinary people through his meticulous brushwork. The painting explores themes of punishment and transformation as Artemis (Diana) prepares to unleash her wrath upon those who denied her mother sustenance. This powerful scene serves as a reminder that even gods can be subject to human emotions such as fear and fright. With its rich colors and intricate details, this remarkable artwork invites viewers into an ancient world filled with mythical beings and moral lessons. Through this print provided by Bridgeman Images in collaboration with Fine Art Finder, art enthusiasts can now appreciate Trevisani's masterful interpretation of this timeless myth without any commercial restrictions or limitations on personal use
