EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Mercury gives Paris the golden apple" we are transported back to ancient mythology. The artist, Giovanni Girolamo Frezza, skillfully captures a pivotal moment in the story of Mercury and Paris. Set against a picturesque landscape, Mercury is depicted floating effortlessly in the air. His divine presence is evident as he extends his hand towards Paris, offering him the coveted golden apple. This small but significant gesture holds great consequences for both mortals and gods alike. The intricate details of this engraving bring life to each character's expression and movement. We can almost feel the weightlessness of Mercury as he hovers above the ground, while Paris eagerly reaches out to accept his fateful prize. This artwork invites us to ponder upon themes such as beauty, temptation, and destiny that resonate throughout Greek mythology. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly insignificant choices can have far-reaching implications. Giovanni Girolamo Frezza's masterful interpretation of this mythological tale showcases his artistic prowess and deep understanding of storytelling through visual imagery. As we gaze at this print from the Liszt Collection, we are reminded of how art has always been a powerful medium for preserving stories from our past and igniting our imagination in the present day.
