EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a captivating scene from Greek mythology. In the center, we see Circe, the enchantress and deity known for her ability to transform men into animals, drinking from a cup. She is surrounded by the companions of Ulysses, who are depicted in a boat on the left side of the composition. The circular arrangement adds an element of harmony and balance to this 16th-century engraving by Giulio Bonasone. The artist skillfully portrays Francesco Parmigianino's interpretation of this ancient tale from Homer's Odyssey. Parmigianino was an Italian Renaissance painter known for his unique style and attention to detail. His influence can be seen in every stroke of Bonasone's engraving. This artwork not only showcases the talent of both artists but also highlights their deep understanding and appreciation for classical literature and Roman mythology. It serves as a reminder that art has always been intertwined with religion and storytelling throughout history. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print invites viewers to delve into the rich cultural heritage preserved within its walls. As we gaze upon Circe drinking from her cup, we are transported back in time to an era where gods and goddesses reigned supreme, leaving us captivated by their power and beauty.
