EDITORS COMMENTS
Calai e Zeti Condotti da Borea et Oritia" is a captivating black and white etching on laid paper by the skilled hand of Balthasar Moncornet. This masterpiece tells the legendary tale of Boreas, the North Wind, and his abduction of the sisters, Oritia and Zeti, also known as the Harpies. The image showcases a lively scene of the sisters being carried away on a grand barque, or galley ship, by Boreas and his brother, Zethus. The sisters, depicted as beautiful women with the bodies of birds, cling to the sides of the boat, their wings outstretched in a desperate attempt to resist their captors. The wind gods, Boreas and Zethus, are shown as powerful, muscular men, their faces contorted with determination as they navigate the boat through the tumultuous waters. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of soldiers and other men, who man the oars of the galley, their faces etched with concentration and effort. In the background, a carousel of boats and ships can be seen, adding to the sense of movement and transportation. This etching is a stunning depiction of Greek mythology, with its intricate details and conceptual depth. The contrasting use of black and white adds to the timeless quality of the image, making it a valuable heritage art piece. The image is a testament to Moncornet's skill as an artist, his ability to bring the mythological tale to life in a way that is both visually striking and intellectually engaging. The etching, "Calai e Zeti Condotti da Borea et Oritia," is a must-have for any collection of mythological art, and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
