EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Calais and Zetes led by Boreas and Oreithyia" takes us back to the 17th century, immersing us in a grand wedding celebration. The image is part of the series "The magnificent pageant on the river Arno in Florence for the marriage of the Grand Duke" which commemorates Cosimo de Medici's union. In this scene, we witness a galley ship adorned with intricate details. At its prow and stern, female-headed sea creatures stand proudly, symbolizing power and strength. A majestic tree stands at the center of the ship's deck, adding an element of nature to this maritime spectacle. The composition captures a group of men led by Calais and Zetes under the guidance of Boreas (the Greek god of winter) and Oreithyia (a princess from Athens). These figures represent mythological characters who played significant roles in ancient Greek tales. Remigio Cantagallina skillfully etched this mesmerizing artwork based on Giulio Parigi's original design. The attention to detail is evident as every stroke brings life to each character present. As we gaze upon this historical piece, it transports us back in time—allowing us to appreciate both artistry and history intertwined within one frame. This photograph serves as a testament to Italy's rich cultural heritage while reminding us that even centuries later, these stories continue to captivate our imagination.
