EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the enchanting world of Antonio Tempesta's artistic interpretation in the 17th century. Inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses, Plate 3: The Age of Gold (Aetas aurea) transports us to a utopian era where harmony and abundance reign supreme. In this scene, we witness a serene countryside setting, adorned with lush greenery and rolling hills. Men, women, and children are depicted in their natural state of nudity as they engage in everyday activities. Amongst them is a mother tenderly breastfeeding her child, symbolizing the nurturing essence of family life. The image exudes an air of tranquility as it captures the idyllic moments within this mythical paradise. It serves as a reminder that once upon a time, humanity lived harmoniously with nature and each other. Antonio Tempesta skillfully brings Ovid's literary masterpiece to life through intricate etching techniques. His attention to detail allows us to immerse ourselves in this heavenly realm where people coexist peacefully without societal constraints or materialistic desires. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we can't help but be transported back in time. Plate 3 invites us to reflect on our own existence while contemplating the timeless
