EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The wedding of Jason and Creusa, at left Medea takes her children, 1530-60" transports us back to the Renaissance era. The masterful engraving by Master of the Die beautifully captures a pivotal moment in Greek mythology. In this scene, we witness the union of Jason and Creusa as they exchange vows amidst an idyllic countryside setting. However, our attention is immediately drawn to Medea, standing on the left side of the frame. With a mix of sorrow and determination etched on her face, she clutches her two children tightly as if preparing for their departure. The artist's intricate detailing brings each character to life - from the stoic groom Jason to the radiant bride Creusa. Their attire reflects their noble status while also showcasing Italian fashion trends during that time period. As we delve deeper into this artwork, it becomes evident that themes such as love, betrayal, and sacrifice are interwoven within its narrative. It serves as a reminder that even in ancient mythological tales like these, human emotions remain universal throughout history. Displayed proudly at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this exquisite piece by Master of the Die exemplifies how art can transcend time and transport viewers into different worlds. Its presence in one of New York City's most renowned cultural institutions ensures its preservation for generations to come.
