EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo transports us to a mythical landscape, where the boundaries between human and animal blur. In this scene from his series The Capricci, created in the early 18th century, we witness a woman and an infant satyr seated together amidst nature's beauty. The woman turns her body gracefully, casting a curious gaze over her left shoulder. Her expression hints at intrigue or perhaps concern as she observes something beyond our view. As our eyes wander further into the composition, we notice a horned goat striding purposefully towards the background. Its presence adds an element of mystery and symbolism to the image. Is it merely an innocent creature passing through? Or does it hold deeper significance within mythology? Tiepolo's etching technique beautifully captures both delicate details and bold contrasts in this artwork. The play of light and shadow enhances the depth of the landscape surrounding these enigmatic figures. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece showcases Tiepolo's mastery in depicting mythological themes with finesse. Through his skilled hand, he invites us to ponder on the intersection between humans and animals while immersing ourselves in a dreamlike world that is both familiar yet fantastical.
