EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Plate 108 Alcyone Offering Prayers Juno Halcyone ob mariti reditum Iunoni supplicat" we are transported to a moment of profound devotion and longing. The image, originally an etching by the talented Italian artist Antonio Tempesta in 1606, is part of the renowned Liszt Collection. The scene depicts Alcyone, a character from Ovid's Metamorphoses, fervently praying to Juno for the safe return of her husband. With delicate precision, Tempesta captures the intensity of Alcyone's emotions as she kneels before an altar adorned with offerings. Her face reflects both hope and desperation as she implores the goddess for mercy. The composition exudes a sense of tranquility and spirituality through its meticulous details and subtle use of light and shadow. The viewer is drawn into this intimate moment between mortal and deity, feeling almost like an intruder witnessing such vulnerability. Measuring approximately 3 15/16 x 4 9/16 inches (10 x 11.6 cm), this print showcases Tempesta's mastery in capturing human emotion within a small space. His skillful technique brings life to every line etched on the sheet. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Artokoloro, we are reminded not only of the power of art but also our own capacity for faith and hope in times of uncertainty.
