EDITORS COMMENTS
The Cerastae transformed into powerful bulls, their bodies adorned with sharp horns and fierce determination. The Propoetides, once proud maidens of great beauty, now stood frozen in time as solid rocks on a desolate island. This scene from Ovid's Metamorphoses comes to life through the masterful artistry of Martin Bouche. In this monochrome print, Bouche skillfully captures the essence of change and transformation that lies at the heart of Greek mythology. The contrasting shades of black and white emphasize the dramatic shift in these mythical creatures' existence. With meticulous attention to detail, every line etched by Bouche tells a story - a tale of metamorphosis that has captivated audiences for centuries. The location depicted is an isolated island surrounded by tumultuous waters, symbolizing both geographical features and emotional turmoil. It serves as a reminder that even within seemingly unchanging landscapes, profound transformations can occur. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are transported back to ancient Rome where Ovid's words first breathed life into these fantastical beings. Through his artistic interpretation, Bouche invites us to ponder the power of change and its impact on our lives. This remarkable print is not just an exquisite work of art but also a testament to the enduring legacy of Roman mythology and literature. It stands as a tribute to Publius Ovidius Naso (Ovid), whose tales continue to inspire artists like Martin Bouche today.
