The Founding of Thebes,
EDITORS COMMENTS
painted by the Italian Baroque artist Salvator Rosa in 1661, captures a pivotal moment in Greek mythology. In this oil painting, the goddess Pallas Athena, depicted as a powerful and determined woman, orders Cadmus, a man with a serious expression, to sow the dragon's teeth. The dragon's teeth, scattered at Cadmus' feet, are about to miraculously sprout an army of warriors. The sky above is filled with ominous clouds, adding to the sense of anticipation and uncertainty. The painting showcases the rich heritage of Italian art and the intriguing stories of Greek mythology. Pallas Athena, the goddess of wisdom and warfare, is shown gesturing towards Cadmus, her right hand pointing downwards, emphasizing the importance of the task at hand. The warriors emerging from the ground, their weapons at the ready, are a testament to the power and might of the ancient Greeks. This painting, now housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst (National Gallery of Denmark), is a reminder of the enduring influence of mythology on art and culture. The unusual and mythical scene, with its vibrant colors and dynamic composition, continues to captivate viewers and inspire artists to this day. The painting's historical significance, as a masterpiece of the seventeenth century, makes it a must-see for anyone interested in the arts, armed forces, or the history of Denmark and Italy.
