EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases Plate 13 of Jupiter and Callisto, a scene derived from Ovid's Metamorphoses. The artwork, created by Antonio Tempesta in 1606, is an etching that measures approximately 4 1/8 by 5/8 inches (104 x 118 cm). In this mesmerizing depiction, we witness the powerful god Jupiter as he embraces and restrains the beautiful nymph Callisto. The intensity of their encounter is palpable; it seems as though time stands still in this frozen moment captured on paper. Tempesta's mastery shines through his intricate details and skillful use of shading. Every line and contour adds depth to the figures, bringing them to life before our eyes. The artist's Italian heritage is evident in his meticulous craftsmanship, which was greatly influenced by his time spent in Florence and Rome. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to ancient mythology where gods mingled with mortals. It serves as a reminder of the timeless stories that continue to captivate us today.
