"Book II: A Journey through Mythical Transformations and Divine Interventions" In this captivating collection of illustrations from Ovid's Metamorphoses, we are transported to a world where gods and mortals collide in epic tales of love, jealousy, and tragedy. The first image portrays the heart-wrenching moment when Apollo uccide Coronide or Coronis is killed by Apollo. The hand-coloured engraving brings to life the sorrowful expression on Apollo's face as he realizes the irreversible consequences of his actions. Next, we witness Phaeton being blasted by Jove or Caduta de Fetonte. The Florence illustration captures the sheer power and fury emanating from Jove as he punishes Phaeton for daring to drive his chariot across the sky. The vibrant colours intensify our sense of awe and terror. Aglauros e Mercurio showcases a different kind of encounter between mortal and deity. In this scene, Aglauros finds herself caught in Mercury's irresistible charm. Their interaction is beautifully depicted in another illustration from Ovid's Metamorphoses. Minerva all Grotta deli Invidia transports us into a realm where envy reigns supreme. As Minerva visits Envy, we are confronted with an eerie atmosphere that perfectly encapsulates the toxic nature of jealousy. Mercurions invaghisce di Erse takes us on yet another journey filled with forbidden desire. We witness Mercury falling hopelessly in love with Herse, their emotions palpable through every stroke of the artist's brush. Sebastiano Serlio's theatrical scene designs bring magic to life before our eyes not once but twice. These enchanting images transport us into worlds where anything seems possible - a testament to human creativity and imagination throughout history. Ocyrrhoe intende da Ocira il Suo Fato reveals one more transformation as Esculapio listens attentively to Ocyrrhoe's prophecy.
