EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment from the ancient Roman novel, "Les Metamorphoses" by Apulee. The etching, titled "Photis accidentally transformed Lucius into a donkey" depicts the unfortunate transformation of the protagonist, Lucius, into an animal. Created by Martin Van Maele in 1905, this artwork beautifully portrays the despair and fear felt by Lucius as he realizes his new form. The image showcases a naked woman, presumably Photis, who is responsible for casting this curse upon Lucius. Her expression reveals her shock and sadness at what she has unintentionally done. Meanwhile, Lucius stands before us as a fully transformed donkey with his head lowered in resignation. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this etching. From the intricate lines that define each figure's body to the subtle shading that adds depth and emotion to their faces, Van Maele brings this ancient tale to life. This artwork not only serves as a visual representation of an important literary work but also invites viewers to contemplate themes such as powerlessness and consequences of one's actions. It reminds us that even mythical characters can experience profound emotions like fear and sorrow. Overall, this print offers a glimpse into both ancient literature and artistic mastery while capturing the essence of human vulnerability within its fantastical narrative.
