EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a unique and intriguing caricature of the famous Laocoon group. Created in 1937 by Italian artist Nicolo Boldrini, this woodcut print captures the essence of horror and nightmare through its exaggerated features and grotesque creature-like forms. The image depicts a scene set in nature, with a towering tree serving as the backdrop for the terrifying figures. The monkey-like creatures, reminiscent of animals from the 16th century Renaissance period, add an element of surprise and curiosity to the composition. Published in Hans Tietze's introduction to Titian Paintings and Drawings by Phaidon Press in Vienna, this print exemplifies Boldrini's artistic prowess in capturing both beauty and terror within his work. It transports viewers back to a different time, evoking feelings of awe at the skillful execution of such intricate details. The presence of St Francis adds another layer of symbolism to this piece. As one of Italy's most revered saints known for his love for all living creatures, his inclusion suggests a deeper exploration into humanity's relationship with nature. Overall, this thought-provoking print invites us to delve into our own interpretations while appreciating Boldrini's masterful technique that seamlessly combines elements from different centuries into one compelling visual narrative.
