Giulio Bonasone: A Master of Mythology and History Giulio Bonasone, an Italian engraver and printmaker, left a lasting legacy with his intricate and captivating artworks. His works spanned various themes, from mythology to biblical scenes, showcasing his versatility as an artist. In "The Holy Family with Mary Magdalene and John the Baptist who embraces Christ" (1543), Bonasone beautifully captures the sacred bond between Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and John the Baptist. The tenderness in their expressions reflects the profound love they shared. Bonasone's fascination with mythology is evident in "Vulcan, Neptune, Athena and other Gods making Shackles to pull Jupiter from the Heavens. " This piece depicts a powerful scene where gods collaborate to challenge Jupiter's authority. It showcases Bonasone's ability to convey both strength and vulnerability through his art. Another mythological masterpiece by Bonasone is "Neptune in his Chariot being drawn by seahorses, " part of "The Division of the Universe" series. The artwork transports viewers into a realm where mythical creatures coexist harmoniously with gods—a testament to Bonasone's imaginative prowess. "The Judgment of Paris" (ca. 1550-60) exemplifies how Bonasone skillfully portrays narratives from Greek mythology. The intense gaze exchanged between Paris and three goddesses vying for his favor creates a sense of anticipation within the viewer. In "Neptune and Melanthe, " taken from "The Loves of the Gods" series (ca 1531-76), we witness Neptune's infatuation with Melanthe unfold before our eyes. Through delicate lines etched onto paper, Bonasone brings this tale of forbidden love alive. Bonasone also explored historical events like "The Trojans hauling the wooden horse into Troy" (1545).
