EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of intense emotion and mythical allure. In the scene titled "Cephalus and Procris" we witness Procris, seated nude in a thicket, turning her head over her right shoulder. Her delicate yet powerful gaze draws us into the depth of her emotions, leaving us wondering what secrets lie within her mind. Beyond Procris, Cephalus stands with his bow drawn and an arrow ready to be released. The tension between them is palpable, hinting at a tale of love, betrayal, or perhaps both. This engraving by Georg Pencz is part of a series depicting four mythological scenes from Greek mythology. The intricate details in this artwork transport us back to the 16th century Renaissance period when such stories were cherished for their timeless lessons on human nature and relationships. Pencz's skillful use of shading creates a stark contrast between light and dark, adding depth to each character's expression. As we observe this mesmerizing image, we are reminded of the complexities that exist within marriage and the challenges faced by couples throughout history. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in ancient times, love could be both beautiful and tumultuous. Displayed at The Met museum as part of their heritage art collection, this photograph invites viewers to delve into the rich tapestry of Greek mythology while appreciating Pencz's artistic mastery in capturing raw human emotions through his engravings.
