EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite painting "Deucalion and Pyrrha" by Andrea di Mariotto del Minga, created between 1570-1572. Housed in the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, Italy, this masterpiece depicts the mythological characters Deucalion and Pyrrha as they emerge as the sole survivors of Zeus' catastrophic flood that aimed to wipe out humanity. In this scene, Themis, the goddess of divine order and justice, instructs Deucalion and Pyrrha to walk blindfolded while throwing behind them the bones of their mother - symbolizing stones from Earth. Minga's artistic prowess is evident through his meticulous attention to detail and skillful use of colors that bring these ancient Greek figures to life. The composition exudes a sense of mystery and intrigue as we witness these human-like beings navigating through a world forever changed by natural disaster. The artist's portrayal captures both vulnerability and resilience in Deucalion's stoic expression juxtaposed with Pyrrha's contemplative gaze. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured this iconic artwork through her lens, preserving its beauty for all art enthusiasts to appreciate. This photograph invites viewers into a realm where mythology intertwines with history, inviting us to ponder our own existence amidst chaos and rebirth.
