EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing painting "Ulysses and Circe the magician" by Bartholomaeus Spranger, created between 1580-1585. The artwork is housed in the prestigious Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria. In this scene from Greek mythology, Ulysses seeks to rescue his companions who have been transformed into pigs by the powerful magician Circe. Spranger's masterful brushstrokes bring this enchanting tale to life as Ulysses confronts Circe amidst a backdrop of lush greenery. The artist skillfully depicts the dramatic moment when Ulysses arrives at Circe's abode to reclaim his comrades. The composition showcases a range of emotions - fear, curiosity, and determination - etched on both human and animal faces alike. The Flemish style employed by Spranger adds an extra layer of richness and depth to this mythical narrative. Every detail is meticulously rendered, from the intricate patterns on clothing to the texture of animals' fur. Through vibrant colors and expert shading techniques, Spranger transports viewers into a world where magic intertwines with reality. Luisa Ricciarini has beautifully captured this iconic artwork through her lens, preserving its essence for generations to come.
