EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Iphis changed by Isis young man" captures a pivotal moment in the ancient mythological tale of Iphis and Ianthe. This artwork, created by Cornelis van Dalen (II), Nicolaes Pietersz. Berchem, and F. Poppens between 1648 and 1664, brings to life Ovid's Metamorphoses. In this scene, we witness Iphis praying fervently to the goddess Isis for assistance in his forbidden love for Ianthe. As if answering his plea, Isis appears at the foot of Iphis' bed with her divine powers ready to intervene. With a gentle touch of her hand and an incantation whispered into the air, she transforms Iphis into a young man. Mercury, symbolized by a cow as his attribute on the ground nearby, watches over this miraculous transformation while a snake crawls across the scene - representing both change and rebirth that often accompany such mythical tales. This stunning visual representation beautifully encapsulates Ovid's fable from Book IX of Metamorphoses where love triumphs over societal constraints through divine intervention. Quint Lox has masterfully captured this timeless narrative through their lens, allowing us to delve deeper into these ancient stories that continue to resonate with us today.
