EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Plate 128 Galatea Acis Embracing Polyphemus Sings" from the Liszt Collection transports us to a world of mythological romance and tragedy. The image depicts a scene inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses, beautifully brought to life through the artistry of Antonio Tempesta. In this etching, we witness the forbidden love between Galatea and Acis, as they embrace amidst the enchanting backdrop of nature. Their tender affection is contrasted by the imposing figure of Polyphemus, who serenades them with his haunting song. This moment captures both the ecstasy and anguish that often accompany such illicit affairs. Tempesta's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this print. From the delicate expressions on each character's face to the intricate textures within their surroundings, his skill as an Italian artist shines through. The composition draws our gaze towards Galatea and Acis, emphasizing their emotional connection while also highlighting their vulnerability in Polyphemus' presence. Measuring at 4 1/2 x 102 x 115 cm, this print invites us into its world with its grand scale. It serves as a testament to Tempesta's ability to capture complex narratives within a single frame. As we admire this work from Artokoloro's collection, we are reminded of how art has always been a powerful medium for storytelling throughout history.
