EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic scene of "Latona and the Lycian fishermen" painted by Jean-Baptiste van Loo in 1715-16. The oil on canvas artwork, measuring 83.8x260.3 cm, is part of The Devonshire Collections at Chatsworth. The painting depicts Latona (or Leto), the mother of Apollo and Artemis, as she curses the peasants from Lycia for denying her access to a local pond to quench her thirst. In retaliation, Latona transforms them into frogs using her supernatural powers. This mythological tale showcases both the power and wrath of this goddess. Attributed to Antonio Bellucci, this historical masterpiece beautifully portrays the moment when these unfortunate fishermen undergo a metamorphosis into amphibians as punishment for their actions against Latona. The composition is filled with symbolism and emotion as it explores themes of family dynamics, punishment, magic, and mythology. It highlights not only Latona's role as a deity but also her maternal instincts towards her children Apollo and Artemis who are depicted alongside her in this powerful scene. Through its intricate details and skillful execution, this painting transports viewers back in time to witness an extraordinary event from Greek mythology that continues to captivate audiences today.
