EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hercules saves Hesione or Ercole che Libera Enione, Book XI" transports us back to ancient Greek mythology. The hand-coloured engraving by Luigi Ademollo in 1832 beautifully illustrates a scene from Ovid's Metamorphoses. In this mesmerizing artwork, we witness the heroic Hercules coming to the rescue of Hesione. Neptune, god of the sea, demands her sacrifice but is thwarted by Hercules' intervention.
