EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th century print, titled 'Kronos Eats his Children,' is a poignant depiction of the classical myth of Saturn or Cronos, the Roman god of time. In Greek mythology, Cronos was known for his insatiable desire to overthrow his father Uranus and rule the universe. To secure his power, he consumed each of his children as they were born, fearing they would overthrow him just as he had done to his own father. The image portrays Cronos, depicted as an old, bearded man, seated on a chariot, symbolizing the passage of time. He is shown in the act of consuming one of his children, represented by a dragon or serpent. The scene unfolds against a backdrop of village life, with a butcher at work, a monk distributing charity, a man sitting in the stocks, and others ploughing, irrigating, washing fleeces, and engaging in other daily activities. The print serves as a powerful reminder of the inexorable nature of time and the cyclical nature of life. The image of Cronos consuming his children is a symbol of the transience of mortal life and the inevitability of change. The inclusion of the village scene adds a human element to the myth, emphasizing the continuity of life and the passage of time through the generations. This beautiful and intricately detailed print, with its rich symbolism and historical context, is a must-have for anyone interested in classical mythology, art history, or the study of time and its passing. It is a testament to the enduring power of mythology to capture the human imagination and inspire reflection on the meaning of life and the passage of time.
