EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases Plate 33 of Antonio Tempesta's renowned series "Apollo Vulcan Forge Coniugis furtum Sol Vulcano detegit". The image, an etching created in 1606, captures a pivotal moment in Ovid's Metamorphoses. In this scene, Apollo uncovers the clandestine affair between his wife Venus (Sol) and Vulcan (Vulcano). The composition is filled with intricate details that bring the mythological narrative to life. With masterful skill, Tempesta portrays the fiery forge where Vulcan works tirelessly while Apollo discovers their secret liaison. The Italian artist's expertise shines through every line and stroke on this sheet measuring approximately 4 1/8 by 9 16 inches (10.4 x 11.6 cm). His use of light and shadow creates a dramatic atmosphere that enhances the emotional intensity of the story. Tempesta was highly regarded during his time for his ability to depict complex narratives with precision and creativity. Born in Florence in 1555, he later moved to Rome where he continued to produce exceptional prints like this one until his death in 1630. This particular print offers viewers a glimpse into Tempesta's artistic genius as well as providing an opportunity to appreciate classical mythology through visual storytelling. It serves as a testament to both historical significance and aesthetic beauty within the realm of fine art prints.
