EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print "Myth of Jupiter and the donkey" by Dirk Stoop and John Ogilby, created in 1665, takes us back to a time when mythology was intertwined with everyday life. This intriguing artwork, housed in the Kupferstich Kabinett, transports viewers to an ancient world where gods and mortals coexisted. In this scene, we witness the mischievousness of Jupiter, king of the gods. Disguised as a humble donkey, he roams among unsuspecting humans. The engraving skillfully captures both the power and vulnerability of this divine being as he interacts with ordinary people. Stoop's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his masterful technique. The intricate lines bring forth a sense of depth and texture that adds richness to the composition. Meanwhile, Ogilby's contribution lies in his ability to convey emotion through facial expressions and body language. This print from the Liszt Collection serves as a reminder that myths have always played an essential role in shaping our understanding of humanity's relationship with higher powers. It invites us to reflect on how these stories continue to resonate today. As we gaze upon this old master print from Artokoloro's collection at Arkheia, we are transported into a realm where imagination meets reality—a testament to art's timeless ability to captivate hearts and minds across centuries.
