EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Birth of Adonis" captures the essence of a timeless mythological tale. Created by Hans Bol and an anonymous artist between the years 1550 and 1650, this artwork transports us to a world where gods and mortals intertwine. The image showcases a majestic tree, believed to be the myrrh tree, serving as the backdrop for this extraordinary event. From within its branches emerges a newborn child - Adonis himself. Surrounding him are water nymphs known as naiads, tenderly caring for their precious charge. In Greek mythology, Adonis is born from his mother Myrrha's tragic transformation into a myrrh tree after her forbidden love affair with her own father Theias. This powerful narrative unfolds before our eyes through the lens of Quint Lox's camera. The composition beautifully portrays the bond between father and son as Theias gazes upon his newborn child with both awe and tenderness. The delicate care provided by the water nymphs adds an ethereal quality to this scene, emphasizing Adonis' divine origins. Through this remarkable piece of artistry by Hans Bol and an anonymous artist, we are reminded of humanity's fascination with myths that transcend time itself. Quint Lox skillfully captures every intricate detail in this print from Liszt Collection, allowing us to immerse ourselves in ancient tales brought vividly to life once again.
