EDITORS COMMENTS
The Argonauts embarking on their epic voyage, captured in a stunning Renaissance masterpiece by the talented artist Ercole De Roberti. Painted around 1480, this artwork titled 'The Argonauts leaving Colchis' transports us back to ancient times and immerses us in the realm of mythology. In this scene from Roman literature and Greek mythology, we witness Jason and his brave crew departing from the enchanting land of Colchis. The painting beautifully depicts the moment of departure, as the ship glides through calm waters while golden hues illuminate the sky. Each figure is meticulously rendered with intricate details that bring them to life. De Roberti's skillful use of tempera and oil on wood creates a rich texture that enhances every stroke and adds depth to each character. This work belongs to the School of Ferrara, known for its emphasis on allegory and literature within fine art images. Drawing inspiration from Ovid's Metamorphoses, De Roberti masterfully captures both the physicality and emotional intensity of this legendary tale. As we gaze upon this print found in Thyssen-Bornemisza Collections, we are reminded not only of ancient Greek history but also how timeless stories continue to inspire artists throughout centuries. This exquisite piece serves as a testament to De Roberti's talent as well as an enduring tribute to classical myths that have shaped our cultural heritage.
