Acis and Galatea, 1787 - A Mythical Tale Engraved in Time
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print of "Acis and Galatea" takes us back to the enchanting world of Greek mythology. Created by Francesco Bartolozzi in the late 18th century, this masterpiece beautifully captures the essence of love, passion, and transformation. The scene depicts Acis, a handsome young man, embracing his beloved Galatea, a sea nymph emerging from a scallop shell. The intricate engravings showcase their intertwined bodies amidst an aquatic backdrop filled with dolphins and other marine creatures. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he portrays every nuance of emotion on their faces - from tender affection to longing desire. Bartolozzi's collaboration with Giovanni Battista Cipriani brings forth an angelic presence through cherubs or putti surrounding the couple. These mythical figures symbolize love's purity and innocence while holding flaming torches that illuminate their eternal bond. Inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses, this print transports us into a realm where gods meddle with mortal lives. It serves as a reminder that even in ancient times, love was both powerful and transformative. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art today, this artwork continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty. Its third state engraving showcases Bartolozzi's mastery in capturing delicate details using etching techniques. As we gaze upon this print by Francesco
