EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Marsyas drawing the Syrinx from the river, ca. 1540-50" transports viewers back to the Renaissance era. Formerly attributed to Ugo da Carpi, this chiaroscuro woodcut showcases the artistic brilliance of Francesco Mazzola, also known as Parmigianino. The monochrome image is trimmed around an oval shape, adding a touch of elegance to its composition. In this mythical scene, Marsyas, a satyr from Greek mythology, can be seen intently drawing the Syrinx (a musical instrument made of reeds) from a river. The attention to detail in capturing Marsyas' focused expression and his interaction with nature is truly remarkable. The work reflects Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola's exceptional skill in creating dramatic contrasts between light and shadow through his use of chiaroscuro technique. This technique not only adds depth but also emphasizes the emotional intensity within the artwork. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met), this piece serves as a testament to Italy's rich cultural heritage during the 16th century Renaissance period. It invites viewers on a journey through time and allows them to appreciate both Niccolo Vicentino's photographic expertise in capturing this historical masterpiece and Parmigianino's genius as an artist. This print offers art enthusiasts an opportunity to bring home a piece of history while celebrating one of Italy's most influential artists.
