EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 7: The Blinded Polyphemus, Guarding the Entrance of His Cavern". This print takes us back to ancient Greek mythology, as depicted by Bartolomeo Crivellari and Domenico Maria Fratta in the 18th century. The scene portrays a dramatic moment from Homer's Odyssey, where Ulysses (also known as Odysseus) and his companions cleverly escape from the clutches of the monstrous Cyclops. In this etching and engraving, we witness Polyphemus, the one-eyed giant guarding his cavern entrance. However, he has been cunningly blinded by Ulysses and his men using a sharpened stake. Below him, our heroes are seen escaping their captor's wrath by covering themselves with ram skins - an ingenious plan devised by Ulysses himself. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; every line etched on paper brings life to these mythical characters. Crivellari's skillful hand captures the intensity of emotions on each face - fear in Polyphemus' blind eye and determination on Ulysses' countenance. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece showcases Italian artistry at its finest. It serves as a testament to both Crivellari's talent for engraving and Fratta's ability to breathe life into classical tales through visual representation. As we gaze upon this print today, we can't help but be transported back in time - witnessing both the triumphs of human wit against mythical beasts and celebrating centuries-old artistic mastery that continues to inspire awe.
