EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Aglauros and Envy or L Invidia e Aglauro, Book II" captures a moment of intense emotion and transformation. Created by Luigi Ademollo in 1832, this hand-coloured engraving brings to life the ancient mythological tale from Ovid's Metamorphoses. In the image, we see Aglauros, sister of Herses, standing in her bedroom. Her delicate figure is depicted with remarkable detail as she points an accusatory finger towards Mercury who stands at the entrance. Juno, Herses' sister and goddess of marriage, has sent Envy to infect Aglauros with jealousy and prevent Mercury from reaching her beloved sibling. The composition exudes a sense of tension and drama as Aglauros resists Mercury's advances. As the story goes, her resistance leads to a tragic fate - being turned into stone for eternity. Ademollo's masterful use of color adds depth and richness to this classical scene. The intricate engravings highlight every nuance of expression on Aglauros' face while also emphasizing the opulence of her surroundings. This artwork not only showcases Ademollo's skill but also serves as a reminder of the enduring power of mythology in art. It invites us to reflect on themes such as envy, betrayal, and transformation that are still relevant today. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from Fine Art Finder's Stapleton Collection, we are transported back in time to witness this poignant
