EDITORS COMMENTS
Apollo Killing Marsyas" is a captivating etching from the 17th century, created by the Italian artist Antonio Tempesta and published by Wilhelm Janson. This masterpiece is based on the ancient Greek mythology tale from Ovid's "Metamorphoses," specifically from Book VI, Plate 58. The image portrays the dramatic moment when Apollo, the Greek god of music and the sun, exacts his revenge on Marsyas, a satyr and a skilled musician. The story goes that Marsyas challenged Apollo to a musical contest, confident in his abilities. Apollo, however, was the victor, and in anger, Marsyas was punished by being flayed alive. Tempesta's etching beautifully captures the intensity and emotion of the scene. Apollo, with a determined expression, stands over Marsyas, who lies on the ground, writhing in pain as his skin is being peeled away. The god holds a knife in one hand and a lyre in the other, symbolizing the contrast between the divine and the mortal, the creator and the destroyed. Marsyas's companions, fauns and other satyrs, are shown in the background, reacting with horror and despair. The image is a powerful reminder of the consequences of hubris and the divine wrath. This etching is an excellent example of the Baroque era's artistic style, characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, intricate details, and emotional intensity. It is a must-see for anyone interested in ancient Greek mythology, art history, or the Baroque period. This etching is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), making it accessible to the public for appreciation and study. The image is in black and white, adding to the timeless and classic feel of the artwork. Overall, "Apollo Killing Marsyas" is a significant piece of heritage art that continues to captivate and inspire viewers.
