EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The Children of Medea and Jason Give Creusa the Fatal Present" takes us back to ancient Greece. Created by René Boyvin in 1563, this engraving beautifully captures a tragic moment from Greek mythology. In the image, we see two angelic children dressed in ornate clothing presenting a gift to Creusa, the new wife of Jason. However, unbeknownst to her, this seemingly innocent present is actually a deadly poison. The flames engulfing the frame symbolize the impending doom that awaits poor Creusa. Boyvin's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork. From the intricate decoration on their clothes to the cherubim surrounding them, each element adds depth and emotion to the scene. The artist skillfully combines elements from ancient Greek culture with his own French heritage. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this sixteenth-century masterpiece by Leonard Thiry showcases his mastery as an engraver. Through his work, he brings forth both beauty and tragedy while paying homage to classical mythology. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image captured in time through Boyvin's skilled hands, we are reminded of how art has always been a powerful medium for storytelling across different cultures and eras.
