EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing moment from Greek mythology - the representation of Argus and Io, transformed into a cow by Mercury. Taken from the "Dictionary of Mythology" in 1888, this plate showcases an unknown artist's interpretation of this legendary tale. In Greek mythology, Argus was a giant with one hundred eyes who was assigned by Hera to guard Io, who had been transformed into a cow as punishment for her affair with Zeus. However, Mercury (also known as Hermes) was sent by Zeus to rescue Io. In this image, we see the transformation taking place as Mercury uses his divine powers to turn Io into a beautiful white cow. The attention to detail in this artwork is truly remarkable. The artist skillfully portrays the fear and confusion on both Argus' face and that of the newly-transformed Io. The viewer can almost feel their emotions through their expressive eyes. Giancarlo Costa has masterfully captured this mythological scene in stunning black and white tones. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also provides insight into ancient Greek culture and beliefs surrounding gods and mythical creatures. Whether you are fascinated by mythology or simply appreciate fine art photography, this exquisite piece will undoubtedly add depth and intrigue to any collection or space it graces.
