EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from Ovid's "Metamorphoses" showcasing the intricate and imaginative world of ancient mythology. In the foreground, we see Scylla, a beautiful nymph, caught in a moment of intense emotion as she is pursued by Glaucos, the marine god who has fallen deeply in love with her. Their conversation seems to be filled with longing and desire. In the background, another tragic story unfolds as Iphis is rejected by Anaxarete and left hanging. The juxtaposition of these two narratives adds depth and complexity to this artwork. The engraving itself was created in 1637 by an unknown artist during the 17th century. Its detailed depiction showcases various elements such as military helmets, winged horses, armor-clad figures, and monstrous creatures that were prominent in Roman mythology. As we delve into this mesmerizing image, we are transported back to ancient Rome where gods and mythical beings roamed freely. It serves as a reminder of the rich literary tradition that continues to captivate audiences today. Giancarlo Costa's skillful reproduction brings this enchanting scene to life once again for us to appreciate its beauty and significance. This remarkable piece belongs to a private collection but remains out of copyright for all art enthusiasts around the world to enjoy.
