EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us to a mythical scene where a child transforms into Jupiter, nourished by the benevolent goat Amalthea. In this enchanting depiction, we witness a half-naked nymph and a satyr delicately cradling Amalthea, while the Jupiter child eagerly drinks milk from one of her udders. The second satyr adds to the ethereal ambiance by playing a soothing melody on his flute. Amidst this harmonious gathering of celestial beings, Amalthea stands as an embodiment of nurturing love in her usual form as a goat. As she suckles the newborn Jupiter, it is evident that she plays an essential role in his divine journey. The artist's skillful engraving brings life to each character and accentuates their mythical qualities. The intricate details capture our imagination and transport us back to ancient times when such tales were believed with fervor.
