EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 16: Hebe, the youthful goddess of youth and cupbearer to the gods, is depicted in this engraving from the 16th century. Captured within a niche, her hands are raised high in the air as she gracefully runs towards the left while casting a glance to her right. This exquisite print forms part of a series showcasing various mythological gods and goddesses. Created by Giovanni Jacopo Caraglio, an Italian artist renowned for his skillful engravings, this piece beautifully captures Hebe's divine essence. The intricate details highlight her naked form, symbolizing purity and vulnerability. As one of Greek mythology's revered figures, Hebe represents eternal youth and vitality. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artwork showcases Caraglio's mastery in capturing both physical beauty and spiritual significance. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to Hebe's figure while emphasizing her ethereal presence within the niche. This print serves as a testament to Italy's rich artistic heritage during the Renaissance period. It invites viewers into an ancient world where deities roamed freely among mortals—a realm where mythology intertwines with religion. Gaze upon Plate 16: Hebe in awe as it transports you back through time to witness the timeless allure of classical mythology captured by Giovanni Jacopo Caraglio’s skilled hand.
