EDITORS COMMENTS
In this ancient Greek mythological scene, the god Apollo is depicted in the act of avenging the betrayal of his lover, Coronis. The figure of Coronis, identified as the mother of the god of healing, Aesculapius, lies lifeless on the ground, her body pierced by arrows. Apollo, the god of the sun, music, and prophecy, stands over her, his face contorted with anger and sorrow. The story of Coronis and Apollo begins with their passionate love affair. Coronis, a mortal woman, was chosen by Apollo to be his lover. However, her infidelity shattered the god's trust when she was seduced by another man. Discovering her betrayal, Apollo was filled with rage and vowed to take revenge. Despite his fury, Apollo spared Coronis' life and granted her a final act of mercy. He ordered his servant, the goddess Artemis, to take Coronis' unborn child, Aesculapius, and raise him as her own. Apollo then killed Coronis with his arrows, ensuring that she would not be a threat to his son. This tragic tale is a reminder of the consequences of infidelity and the power of the gods to mete out punishment. Coronis' story is also significant in the mythology of Aesculapius, who went on to become one of the most revered gods in ancient Greece. The image of his mother's tragic end serves as a poignant backstory to his healing powers and the compassionate nature of the god of medicine. This evocative print, depicting the moment of Coronis' demise, offers a glimpse into the rich and complex world of ancient Greek mythology. The intricate details of the figures and the dramatic use of light and shadow create a powerful and moving image that transports us back to a time when gods and goddesses ruled the world of mortals.
