EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Creations of the Four Elements: Pan Pursuing Syrinx" a masterpiece inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses. Created in 1589 by the talented Dutch artist Hendrick Goltzius, this engraving is a testament to his exceptional skill and creativity. The artwork depicts Pan, the Greek god of nature and shepherds, relentlessly pursuing Syrinx, a nymph who transforms herself into reeds to escape his advances. The intense emotions and dynamic movement captured in this scene are truly remarkable. Goltzius' attention to detail is evident in every stroke of the engraving. From the delicate lines that define each figure's form to the intricate textures that bring life to their surroundings, it is clear that he poured his heart and soul into this piece. Measuring 18.9 x 26.4 cm (7 7/16 x 10 3/8 in. ), this print perfectly preserves Goltzius' original vision. The platemark measures at 17.2 x 24.9 cm (6 3/4 x 9 13/16 in. ), highlighting its precise execution. As you gaze upon this stunning artwork, you can't help but be transported back to ancient mythology and feel captivated by its timeless beauty. It serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with storytelling through art and how artists like Goltzius have been able to immortalize these tales for generations to come. (Note
