EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "CORONIS" transports us back to ancient Roman mythology. The image depicts the dramatic moment when Coronis, a beautiful winged nymph, is being pursued by Neptune, the god of the ocean. In an act of divine intervention, Coronis is transformed into a crow to escape her pursuer's grasp. The copper engraving, created in France during the early 19th century, faithfully captures every intricate detail from Giulio Carpioni's original painting dating back to 1665-70. The artist skillfully portrays the intensity and urgency of this mythological encounter. As we gaze at this artwork, we are drawn into a world where gods and mortals intertwine. Neptune brandishes his trident with determination while Coronis spreads her wings in desperation. The composition exudes both power and vulnerability as two worlds collide. The symbolism within this piece is profound; it speaks to themes of transformation and sacrifice. We witness Coronis' metamorphosis from a woman with exposed breasts into a majestic crow soaring through the heavens. It reminds us that even in times of adversity, there can be beauty found in change. This remarkable print serves as a testament to both ancient Greek and Roman culture while showcasing the talent of Giulio Carpioni and the craftsmanship involved in creating such exquisite engravings. It invites us to reflect on our own journeys of transformation amidst life's challenges – reminding us that sometimes we must adapt and evolve like Coronis herself did so long ago.
