EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art from the 16th century. The image features "The infant Hercules killing the snakes" a powerful scene set within an elaborate frame, taken from the collection titled "Loves, Rages and Jealousies of Juno" by Giulio Bonasone. In this engraving, we witness a momentous event in Greek mythology as the young Hercules fearlessly confronts and defeats two menacing snakes. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, capturing both the intensity of the battle and the vulnerability of infancy. Displayed against a backdrop that exudes Renaissance charm, this artwork transports us back to an era where classical tales held great significance. It serves as a testament to Italy's rich cultural heritage and its enduring fascination with Roman mythology.
