EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a remarkable antique relief titled "Galatea escapes Polyphemus". The series title itself evokes curiosity and anticipation, hinting at an enthralling narrative. In this particular scene, Galatea is depicted riding on a magnificent shell drawn by graceful dolphins, symbolizing her escape from the clutches of Polyphemus. The intricate details of the engraving bring the story to life. Polyphemus, seated on a rugged rock, holds both a stick and a pan flute in his hands, perhaps representing his futile attempts to capture Galatea's attention. Above them soars Amor, the god of love himself, adding an element of triumph to Galatea's escape. Created by Marco Dente between 1498 and 1532 in Italy, this paper engraving measures approximately 108 mm in height and 170 mm in width. The artist skillfully captures the essence of each character while showcasing their emotions through delicate lines and shading techniques. This print invites viewers into an ancient world filled with mythological creatures and timeless tales. It serves as a reminder that art has always been instrumental in preserving stories throughout history. Whether displayed as part of a collection or admired individually for its beauty and craftsmanship, this piece offers endless opportunities for interpretation and appreciation.
