EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Bartholomeus Breenbergh, we are transported to the enchanting world of Corsica. Seated gracefully on the bank of a serene river, Corsica is surrounded by satyrs, mythical creatures known for their wild and mischievous nature. The scene unfolds against the backdrop of an ancient aqueduct, symbolizing the timeless connection between man-made structures and natural landscapes. Breenbergh's meticulous etching technique brings out every intricate detail in this 17th-century masterpiece from his pair of plates created for Battista Guarini's renowned work "Il Pastor Fido". The Dutch Golden Age artist skillfully captures both the beauty and power of Corsica as she engages in conversation with these fantastical beings. The composition exudes a sense of harmony between humanity and mythology, inviting us to contemplate our place within the larger tapestry of existence. As we observe Corsica conversing with her companions, we are reminded that our own interactions with nature can be equally profound. This artwork serves as a testament to Breenbergh's talent in capturing not only physical landscapes but also intangible emotions and narratives. It stands proudly among other treasured pieces at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, preserving Dutch heritage art for generations to come. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, let us immerse ourselves in its monochromatic beauty while contemplating our own relationship with nature and mythology.
