EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite painting "Cymon and Iphigenia" by Cornelis van Poelenburgh, a renowned Dutch artist of the Baroque period. Created between 1630 and 1640, this masterpiece can be found in the prestigious collection of the Centraal Museum in Utrecht. The artwork depicts a scene inspired by Boccaccio's Decameron, where Cymon, a simple-minded young man transformed by love, encounters Iphigenia, an enchanting figure from Greek mythology. Van Poelenburgh skillfully captures their encounter on an oil-on-wood canvas with remarkable attention to detail. Through his masterful use of allegory and literature, the artist transports us into a world where myth intertwines with reality. The delicate brushstrokes bring to life every nuance of emotion on Cymon's face as he gazes upon Iphigenia's beauty for the first time. The play of light and shadow adds depth to their surroundings while enhancing the ethereal quality of this timeless moment. Van Poelenburgh's "Cymon and Iphigenia" is not just a painting; it is an invitation to explore themes such as love, transformation, and destiny. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of art in capturing human emotions across centuries.
