EDITORS COMMENTS
This monochrome print, titled "Boree, the north wind, takes off Orithye" transports us to the mystical world of Greek mythology. Created by Bartolomeo Guidobono in the 17th century, this artwork is housed in the Collezione numismatica Banca Carige in Genoa, Italy. The scene depicted showcases Boree, the powerful north wind from Greek folklore. With a gust of wind and an ethereal cloud beneath him, Boree is seen kidnapping Orithye, a young woman who symbolizes fear and anguish. The artist skillfully captures her expression of anxiety as she is lifted into the heavens against her will. Guidobono's use of monochrome adds depth and intensity to this mythological tale. The absence of color allows viewers to focus on the intricate details within the painting - from Orithye's flowing gown to Boree's billowing hair. This piece not only highlights Guidobono's artistic prowess but also serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with ancient myths and legends. It invites us to delve into our imagination and explore themes such as love, fantasy, and divine intervention. Luisa Ricciarini has beautifully captured this historic artwork through her lens at Fine Art Finder. Her photograph preserves every brushstroke while adding a contemporary touch that brings this centuries-old masterpiece to life once again for modern audiences to appreciate.
