EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Plate 1: Saturn in a niche devouring his son, standing before a scythe. Created by the talented Giovanni Jacopo Caraglio in 1526, this piece is part of a series featuring mythological gods and goddesses. The image depicts the allegorical figure of Saturn, also known as Cronos in Greek mythology and Father Time in Roman mythology. In this powerful engraving, we see Saturn with his muscular physique holding his helpless child while standing before a menacing scythe. Symbolizing the passage of time and the cyclical nature of life, this artwork delves into themes of family dynamics and mortality. Caraglio's attention to detail is evident as he captures every emotion on Saturn's face - from anguish to determination. The artist skillfully portrays the tension between fatherly love and destructive power through intricate lines and shading. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image, we are reminded of the timeless tales that have shaped our understanding of ancient deities. This print serves as a testament to Caraglio's mastery in capturing both physicality and symbolism within his work. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this remarkable piece invites us to reflect on our own place within the grand tapestry of human existence while marveling at Caraglio's artistic prowess.
