EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Plate 138 Acmon Friends Changed Birds Comites Diomedis indignatione veneris" showcases the artistic brilliance of Antonio Tempesta. The image is a reproduction from Ovid's renowned work, Metamorphoses, dating back to 1606. In this etching, we are transported into a world where mythical creatures and human emotions intertwine. The scene depicts the transformation of Acmon and his friends into birds due to their audacious act of mocking Venus' sacred rites. As they undergo this metamorphosis, their faces reveal a mix of surprise and disbelief at the consequences that befall them. Tempesta's attention to detail is evident in every stroke on this sheet measuring 4 1/2 by 102 by 115 cm. The intricate lines bring life to each character and highlight their individual expressions as they grapple with their newfound avian forms. As an Italian artist hailing from Florence but based in Rome during his career, Tempesta was celebrated for his ability to capture dramatic moments like these with exceptional skill. His prints continue to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide even centuries later. The Liszt Collection has masterfully reproduced this remarkable piece from Artokoloro without compromising its original essence or quality. Displaying this print will undoubtedly add depth and intrigue to any art collection or space it adorns while paying homage to one of Italy's most revered artists.
