EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Enceladus Buried Underneath Mount Etna, 1731" by Bernard Picart takes us on a mythical journey to the depths of Sicily's iconic volcano. This intriguing artwork from the private collection of The Stapleton Collection showcases Picart's artistic prowess and his fascination with Greek mythology. In this scene, we witness the punishment inflicted upon Enceladus, a giant who dared to challenge Zeus' authority. As Cerberus, the three-headed dog guardian of the underworld, looks on menacingly, Jupiter hurls thunderbolts at Enceladus while perched atop Mount Etna. The mighty Typhon lurks in the background as an ominous dragon slithers through cerulean waters. Picart masterfully captures both the power and hubris that led to Enceladus' demise. The weight of his transgressions is symbolized by Mount Etna itself crushing him beneath its fiery embrace. This print serves as a reminder of divine retribution for those who defy gods and their rightful place in the celestial hierarchy. With meticulous detail and skillful composition, Picart transports us into this fantastical realm where myth intertwines with reality. Through this engraving, we are invited to contemplate themes of punishment, power dynamics, and cosmic justice. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let our imagination soar alongside these ancient tales etched onto paper centuries ago –
