EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "Laocoon" by Greco, also known as Domenico Theotocopuli. Painted between 1610 and 1614, this oil on canvas artwork measures an impressive 137.5 x 172.5 cm and is housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, USA. The painting depicts a tragic scene from Greek mythology involving Laocoon, a priest of Apollo who broke his oath of celibacy. As he prepared to sacrifice a bull to the god Poseidon, two sea serpents named Porces and Chariboea were sent by Apollo to punish him for his transgression. In this moment frozen in time, we witness Laocoon's desperate struggle against these powerful creatures as they coil around him and his twin sons. The artist skillfully captures the intensity of the scene with intricate details that bring it to life. The writhing snakes intertwine with Laocoon's body while he valiantly fights back, showcasing both strength and vulnerability simultaneously. The landscape surrounding them adds depth to the composition, enhancing the dramatic atmosphere. This print not only highlights Greco's exceptional talent but also serves as a reminder of ancient myths that continue to captivate our imagination today. It invites us into a world where gods and mortals collide, exploring themes such as temptation, punishment, and human resilience in face of adversity.
