EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "Clytie, 1785" - A Mesmerizing Depiction of Mythology and Science This print titled "Clytie, 1785" created by Valentine Green in the 18th century, transports viewers to a world where art seamlessly blends with astronomy and Roman mythology. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, this mezzotint on laid paper showcases the exceptional talent of both Green as an artist and Maria Louisa Catherine Cecilia Cosway as his muse. In this remarkable artwork, Clytie, a female figure from Greek mythology associated with the sunflower symbolizing loyalty and unrequited love, is depicted kneeling amidst billowing clouds. With her hand gesturing towards the sky above her head, she appears to be summoning rays of light that cascade upon her body. This interplay between light and shadow creates a mesmerizing effect that draws attention to Clytie's delicate features while highlighting her graceful posture. Green's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke captured on this print. The subtle play of light on Clytie's breast emphasizes her femininity without being overtly provocative or objectifying. Through this artwork inspired by Ovid's tales from Roman mythology and intertwined with scientific elements representing our solar system’s celestial bodies, Green masterfully combines artistry with intellectual curiosity. As we gaze upon "Clytie" we are reminded not only of Britain's rich artistic heritage but also how ancient myths continue to inspire
