EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 17th-century print captures the raw power and unyielding force of the North Wind, personified as the mythological figure Septentrio Boreas. In the image, Boreas is depicted as a robust, muscular figure, clad in flowing robes and holding a scythe, as he carries off the hapless nymph Oreithyia, who clings to him with fear and desperation. The scene is set against a backdrop of a stormy, tempestuous sky, filled with dark, ominous clouds, lightning bolts, and torrential rain. The print, created circa 1640, is a testament to the historical fascination with the natural world and its elemental forces. The weather phenomena depicted in the image were believed to be the result of the gods' whims and the power of the elements, and were often the subject of myths and legends. Boreas, the North Wind, was one of the four winds that controlled the seasons and the weather. He was known for his cold, harsh winds that could bring snow and ice, and was feared for his destructive power. Oreithyia, a nymph from the Black Sea, was one of the many mythological figures who fell victim to Boreas' wrath. According to legend, Boreas abducted her while she was out walking near the sea, carrying her off to the north, where she became the mother of the Boreads, the winds of the north. This print provides a glimpse into the rich history of mythology and the natural world, and serves as a reminder of the awe-inspiring power of the elements.
