EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 17th century as we witness a pivotal moment in Greek mythology. The renowned artist Goltzius skillfully captures the scene of "Hermes presenting Pandora to King Epimetheus" with his masterful brushstrokes. The composition centers around Hermes, the messenger of gods and commerce, elegantly introducing Pandora to King Epimetheus. The figures are depicted in exquisite detail, showcasing Goltzius' mastery of Mannerism. With vibrant colors and intricate textures, he brings these mythological characters to life on canvas. Pandora herself stands at the center of attention, her beauty radiating through her graceful pose. Holding a mysterious box that would later unleash chaos upon humanity, she symbolizes both curiosity and temptation. This portrayal reflects Ovid's account of Pandora's creation in Roman mythology. King Epimetheus appears captivated by Pandora's presence but is unaware of the impending consequences that will befall mankind due to her actions. As viewers, we can't help but feel a sense of foreboding as we contemplate what lies within that fateful box. This remarkable artwork from Art Museum Basel serves as a testament to Goltzius' artistic prowess and his ability to breathe life into ancient tales. It reminds us not only of our fascination with Greek and Roman mythologies but also how art has the power to transcend time and capture timeless stories for generations to come.
