EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable combination of ancient Greek and Etruscan art, depicting various scenes from the legendary tale of Jason and the Argonauts. In the foreground, we see Jason diligently constructing his renowned ship, the Argo, with assistance from Minerva herself. The terracotta bas-relief in Cardinal Alessandro Albani's villa beautifully captures their collaboration and highlights their divine connection. Adjacent to this scene is a figure of an owl sourced from a Greek vase. Symbolizing wisdom and knowledge, it serves as a powerful reminder of Minerva's presence throughout this mythological journey. Further enhancing the narrative is an Etruscan vase portraying Medea conspiring with the Peliades to bring about Pelias' demise. This intriguing subplot adds depth to the story while showcasing another facet of ancient artistry. The hand-colored copperplate engraving by Corsi masterfully brings these elements together into one harmonious composition. Originally featured in Giulio Ferrario's renowned work "Costumes Ancient and Modern" this illustration transports us back in time, allowing us to immerse ourselves in both historical events and fashion trends. Through this extraordinary fusion of artistic mediums, we are reminded not only of Greece's rich mythology but also its profound influence on subsequent civilizations such as Etruria. This print serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with ancient cultures and their timeless stories that continue to captivate audiences today.
