EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Death of Adonis or Morte di Adone" takes us back to the enchanting world of Greek mythology. Illustrated by Luigi Ademollo in 1832, this hand-coloured engraving beautifully captures a tragic moment from Ovid's Metamorphoses. In Book X, we witness the heart-wrenching scene where Myrrha's son, Adonis, blossoms into a breathtaking youth. However, his beauty does not go unnoticed by Venus herself, who falls deeply in love with him. Tragically, fate intervenes as Adonis meets his untimely demise at the hands of a wild boar. This image portrays the aftermath of this devastating event. The viewer is transported to a serene landscape filled with mourners and swans gracefully gliding across calm waters. The sorrowful figures surrounding Adonis' lifeless body express their grief through tears and cries of anguish. Luigi Ademollo masterfully brings this classical mythological tale to life through intricate details and delicate coloring techniques. Each stroke adds depth and emotion to the composition while capturing the essence of mourning and loss. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from Bridgeman Images' Stapleton Collection, we are reminded once again that even gods are not immune to tragedy. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder that beauty can be fleeting and that even in death there is profound sadness for those left behind.
