EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Bernardino Luini's masterpiece, "Procris Pierced by Cephalus Javelin". Created between 1520 and 1522 as a fresco, this Italian artwork beautifully captures the tragic mythological tale of Procris and Cephalus. Luini, an esteemed artist from the late 15th to early 16th century, skillfully depicts the heart-wrenching moment when Cephalus accidentally kills his beloved wife with a javelin. The composition is filled with emotion and drama as Procris lies lifeless on the ground while her grief-stricken husband kneels beside her. Luini's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, from the delicate folds of their garments to the anguish etched upon their faces. Through this artwork, Luini explores themes of love, loss, and remorse. The viewer is transported into a world where ancient myths come alive through artistry. The colors are vibrant yet melancholic, enhancing the overall mood of sorrow that permeates the scene. As we gaze at this print from Liszt Collection, we can't help but be captivated by its timeless beauty and narrative power. It serves as a testament to Bernardino Luini's talent as an artist and his ability to convey complex emotions through his work. Whether displayed in a gallery or cherished within one's own home, this piece invites contemplation and reflection on our own human experiences of love and tragedy.
