EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the ancient Greek mythological scene of Cadmus Founding Thebes, brought to life by the skilled hands of the Master of the Story of Cadmus. Created in 1543-44 during the Italian Mannerist period, this artwork showcases a momentous event in history. In this image, we witness Cadmus, a heroic figure from Greek mythology and founder of Thebes, engaged in constructing the city. With determination etched on his face, he leads a team of builders as they lay down the foundations that will shape an enduring legacy. The artist's masterful use of etching techniques adds depth and texture to every stroke, enhancing our connection with this historical narrative. Francesco Primaticcio's influence is evident through his collaboration with the Master of the Story of Cadmus on this remarkable piece. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are transported back in time to witness not only an act of construction but also an embodiment of heroism and perseverance. This artwork serves as a testament to human ingenuity and ambition throughout centuries. Displayed proudly within museum walls, it stands as a reminder that art has always been intertwined with storytelling and cultural heritage. Through its monochromatic palette, it invites us to appreciate both its artistic value and its historical significance without distraction or embellishment.
