EDITORS COMMENTS
Ino, the tragic queen of Thebes, succumbs to her despair and throws herself and her beloved son Melicertes into the unforgiving depths of the sea. This haunting engraving by Leonard Gaultier captures a pivotal moment in Greek mythology, as depicted in Blaise de Vigenare's Les Images Ou Tableaux De Platte Peinture Des Deux Philostrates Sophistes Grecs. The scene is filled with profound sorrow and divine intervention. Ino's anguished face reflects the weight of her decision, while Melicertes clings to his mother for solace amidst their impending doom. The swirling waves symbolize both their imminent demise and the power of nature that surrounds them. As we gaze upon this 17th-century masterpiece, we are transported back to an era when gods and goddesses held sway over mortal lives. Ino's sacrifice speaks to themes of love, loss, and ultimate redemption within Greek mythology. Gaultier's masterful technique brings depth and emotion to every stroke of his engraving. The contrast between light and shadow creates a sense of foreboding that lingers long after our eyes leave the image. This print serves as a poignant reminder that even in moments of great tragedy, there is beauty to be found in art. It invites us to contemplate our own mortality while marveling at humanity's enduring fascination with ancient tales.
