EDITORS COMMENTS
Galatea and Acis, two lovers from ancient Greek mythology, find themselves in a moment of both surprise and danger. In this stunning chromolithograph print, we witness the dramatic encounter between the nymph Galatea, her beloved Acis, and the giant Polyphemus. As they embrace under a majestic tree, their peaceful moment is shattered when Polyphemus discovers them. Jealousy burns within him as he witnesses their affection for one another. The sheer size of the cyclops adds to the intensity of this scene, contrasting with the delicate figures of Galatea and Acis. This artwork captures not only a legendary tale but also reflects on human nature and our fascination with superstitions. It serves as an illustration for 'Las Supersticiones De La Humanidad' by Jose Coroleu - a book that delves into mankind's beliefs throughout history. The exceptional quality of this chromolithograph brings every detail to life; from the intricate botanical elements surrounding them to the expressions on their faces filled with surprise and fear. It is through art like this that we can explore both mythological narratives and scientific methods used in botany and natural history. Allow yourself to be captivated by this enchanting print that intertwines legend, mythology, superstition, love, jealousy, humanity's curiosity about its own existence.
