EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the poignant moment of Egeria mourning the death of her husband, Numa, the second king of Rome. According to classical mythology, Egeria was so overcome with grief at his passing that she transformed into a fountain known as the Egerian Spring. The image beautifully portrays the deep sorrow and sadness in Egeria's expression as she weeps for her beloved spouse. The mythological tale of her transformation into a natural spring symbolizes eternal love and devotion even in the face of loss and tragedy. Egeria's story is not only a testament to the power of love but also serves as a reminder of the enduring nature of legends from ancient history. The intricate details captured in this print bring to life this mythical narrative, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the emotional journey of Egeria. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era where gods and mortals intertwined, where love transcended boundaries and where grief could transform into something everlasting. The legacy of Egeria lives on through this powerful depiction, reminding us that even in our darkest moments, there is beauty and resilience waiting to emerge.
