EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "Cybele before the Council of the Gods" by Italian artist Pietro da Cortona. Created in 1633, this artwork is a testament to da Cortona's exceptional talent and mastery of various mediums. The composition depicts Cybele, a prominent goddess in ancient Greek and Roman mythology, standing before an assembly of powerful gods. Rendered with pen and brown ink, the intricate details are further enhanced with brown washes and white bodycolor highlights. The use of black chalk adds depth and dimension to the figures, while the outlines indented with a stylus create precise lines that transfer beautifully onto paper. Measuring at 19.5 x 14.4 cm (7 11/16 x 5 11/16 in. ), this print captures every nuance of da Cortona's original work. The artist skillfully portrays Cybele as she pleads her case or seeks guidance from these divine beings who hold sway over mortal affairs. With its rich historical context and remarkable artistic technique, this image transports viewers back to ancient times when gods were believed to govern human destinies. It serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with mythology and our eternal quest for answers beyond our mortal realm
