EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-carved ivory sculpture, titled "Diana and Callisto" by Ignaz Elhafen, dates back to the 1690s, making it an intriguing artifact from the seventeenth century. The German artist, Elhafen, masterfully captured the essence of Greek mythology in this intricately detailed work of art. The scene depicts Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt, and her nymph, Callisto, who was transformed into a bear as a punishment for breaking Diana's laws. Here, they are shown in a moment of tender reconciliation, with Diana reaching out to touch and comfort Callisto, who is shown in her bear form, but with distinctively human features. The sculpture's intricacy is evident in the delicate lines and curves that define the figures' forms, the lifelike details of their expressions, and the naturalistic textures of their fur and skin. The use of color and contrast, with Diana's cool, pale complexion and Callisto's warm, earthy tones, adds depth and dimension to the piece. This sculpture is a testament to the skill and artistry of European handicraft during the 17th century. It is a rare and valuable example of the heritage art that has been passed down through generations, and a reminder of the rich cultural traditions that continue to inspire and captivate us today. Currently, this magnificent work of art can be found in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it is a popular attraction for visitors interested in the history of art and the stories behind the myths and legends of ancient Greece and Rome.
