EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Plate 143 Polyphemus Eating Ulysses Men Achaemides Watches" from the Liszt Collection transports viewers to a moment of intense drama and mythical intrigue. The artwork, created by Italian artist Antonio Tempesta in 1606, is an etching that measures approximately 3 15/16 by 4 5/8 inches (10 x 11.7 cm). Inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses, this scene depicts the monstrous Cyclops Polyphemus devouring Ulysses' men while Achaemides watches helplessly. The composition skillfully captures the tension and terror of the narrative as Ulysses' companions face their gruesome fate. Tempesta's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth to the image, emphasizing both the physicality of Polyphemus and his menacing presence within the confined space. The intricate details showcase Tempesta's artistic prowess, with each figure rendered meticulously. The print offers a glimpse into classical mythology through its vivid storytelling and technical excellence. It serves as a testament to Tempesta's talent as well as his ability to bring ancient tales to life through art. This remarkable piece invites contemplation on themes such as power, survival, and human vulnerability in the face of overwhelming odds. As we gaze upon it, we are reminded of our own capacity for heroism or tragedy when confronted with challenges beyond our control. Artokoloro has preserved this extraordinary
