This print, created in 1776 by artist W Walker, showcases the mesmerizing tale of Cadmus and Hermione from Greek mythology. The artwork is part of a collection called The Copper-Plate Magazine or A Monthly Treasure, published in London during the 18th century. In this intriguing scene, we witness the transformative power of myth as Cadmus and Hermione undergo a metamorphosis into serpents. Symbolizing their journey from human to reptilian form, the image captures their nakedness with an artistic sensibility that emphasizes both beauty and vulnerability. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this portrayal while highlighting the intricate details engraved by Walker. Through his skillful artistry, he brings these mythical characters to life on paper. As we delve deeper into this piece, it becomes evident how ancient myths often explore concepts such as sexuality and desire. Here, the female figure of Hermione exudes an undeniable allure amidst her transformation into a serpent. This juxtaposition invites contemplation on themes related to femininity and sexual identity prevalent in literature throughout history. Overall, this print serves as a testament to the enduring fascination with Greek mythology within artistic expression.
