EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense moment when Circe, the enchantress of Aeaea in ancient Greece, transforms Ulysses' companions into beasts. Created by Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione during the Baroque era in 1650-1651, this etching beautifully depicts the power and magic of Greek mythology. In this scene from Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey". Circe, a deity with immense sorcery abilities, uses her enchanting skills to turn Ulysses' loyal comrades into various animals. The group stands together as they undergo their astonishing metamorphosis under Circe's spell. Castiglione skillfully portrays each transformed creature - goats, sheep, birds - with intricate detail and realism. Their expressions reveal fear and confusion as they adapt to their new forms while still maintaining some human characteristics. Circe herself is depicted as a powerful woman dressed in armor, symbolizing her role as both a goddess and an enchantress. Behind her stands a majestic peacock representing her divine status. This artwork not only showcases Castiglione's artistic talent but also reflects his deep understanding of literature and classical themes. It serves as a testament to the enduring influence of Greek mythology on art throughout history. Displayed at The Met museum today, this piece invites viewers to immerse themselves in ancient tales of war, transformation, and supernatural powers.
