EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to a mythical realm where the goddess Aurora bids farewell to her mortal lover Tithonus. Painted by Francesco Solimena in 1704, "Aurora Taking Leave of Tithonus" is a masterpiece that captures the essence of love and transience. The scene unfolds with ethereal beauty as Aurora, the personification of dawn, stands gracefully before us. Her radiant figure bathed in soft hues of pink and gold creates an otherworldly atmosphere. With tender sadness etched on her face, she gazes down at Tithonus who lies asleep beside her. The contrast between their immortal and mortal forms serves as a poignant reminder of their inevitable separation. Solimena's masterful brushwork brings life to every detail in this oil on canvas composition. From the delicate folds of Aurora's flowing gown to the intricate patterns adorning the celestial backdrop, each element adds depth and richness to the narrative. As viewers, we cannot help but be moved by this timeless tale depicted so skillfully by Solimena. It reminds us that even love itself must succumb to time's relentless passage. Yet within this melancholic moment lies a glimmer of hope – for it is through these fleeting connections that our lives are enriched and made meaningful. This print from Liszt Collection allows us to bring home a piece of art history infused with emotion and symbolism. It serves as a constant reminder that while love may be transient, its impact can endure
