EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases Plate 20 of Antonio Tempesta's renowned series "Mercury Turning Aglauros Stone Aglauros". The image captures a pivotal moment in Ovid's Metamorphoses, where Mercury, the messenger of the gods, transforms Aglauros into stone for betraying his trust. Tempesta's masterful etching technique brings this mythological scene to life with intricate details and dynamic composition. The viewer is drawn into the narrative as they witness Mercury's divine power manifesting through his outstretched arm and glowing presence. Aglauros stands frozen in fear and regret as her body slowly turns to stone, capturing a profound sense of tragedy. The Italian artist skillfully employs light and shadow to enhance the dramatic effect of this transformation. The play between darkness and illumination creates an ethereal atmosphere that heightens the emotional impact of the scene. Measuring 4 1/8 by 5/8 inches (105 by 117 cm), this print exemplifies Tempesta's artistic prowess and attention to detail. His ability to convey complex narratives within a single frame is evident in every stroke. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back in time to ancient Rome, where myths were woven into everyday life. This print serves as a testament to both Tempesta's talent as an artist and our enduring fascination with classical mythology.
