Affections Circe Falls Magpie Pica Picus Saturn Transforms Witch Enamoured Myth
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the classical myth of Picus and Circe in a stunning and evocative way. The story of Picus, son of Saturn, who catches the eye of the enchanting witch Circe is one filled with passion, betrayal, and transformation.
In this image, we see Circe falling deeply enamored with Picus, only to have her affections rejected by him. In a fit of rage and heartbreak, she uses her powerful magic to transform him into a magpie (pica), forever trapping him in his avian form.
The intricate details and rich colors in this print bring to life the tragic tale of unrequited love and its devastating consequences. The expressions on both Picus' face as he realizes what has happened to him and Circe's face as she wields her dark powers are truly haunting.
As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the power that love - or lack thereof - can hold over us all. It serves as a cautionary reminder that not all affections are meant to be reciprocated, and that sometimes our desires can lead us down paths we never intended to take.
Overall, this print from Mary Evans Prints Online is a beautiful depiction of an age-old myth that continues to captivate audiences with its timeless themes of love, loss, and transformation.
