EDITORS COMMENTS
In this detail from Piero di Cosimo's "A Satyr mourning over a Nymph" we are transported to a mythical world filled with sorrow and beauty. The scene depicts a satyr, known for their wild and mischievous nature, in an uncharacteristic state of mourning over the lifeless body of a nymph. Painted around 1495 on poplar wood, this oil masterpiece showcases the artist's exceptional talent for capturing emotion and storytelling. The composition is set against a breathtaking landscape that stretches as far as the eye can see. Majestic hills rise in the distance, their peaks shrouded in misty clouds. A tranquil river winds through the scene, reflecting the soft hues of pink and blue from the sky above. Boats gently glide along its surface while storks gracefully soar overhead. Nature plays an integral role in this painting; birds perch on branches or take flight amidst lush foliage. Their presence adds to the sense of melancholy that permeates throughout - perhaps they too mourn the loss of this ethereal creature. This extraordinary print captures every intricate detail with remarkable clarity and precision. It allows us to appreciate not only di Cosimo's artistic mastery but also his ability to transport us into another realm where myth intertwines with reality. As we gaze upon this timeless work, we cannot help but be captivated by its haunting beauty and profound narrative.
