EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Vignette Jason Medea Socio Ditata Labore" captures a pivotal moment in the ancient Greek mythological tale of Jason and Medea. The image depicts Jason, who has just emerged victorious after obtaining the coveted Golden Fleece. With his prize in hand, he boards a ship alongside his loyal companion, Medea. To the right of them lies the defeated dragon, symbolizing their triumph over adversity. The scene is beautifully framed with intricate ornamentation, reminiscent of classical artistry. A reference to book VII of Ovid's Metamorphoses can be seen within the frame, alluding to the larger narrative surrounding these characters. As they embark on their journey aboard the ship, they are relentlessly pursued by the Colchians. The Golden Fleece itself hangs prominently from an oak tree nearby, serving as a powerful visual reminder of both its significance and allure. This engraving was skillfully created by Jan Wandelaar during 1702-1759 in Noord-Nederland. This remarkable piece offers viewers a glimpse into this timeless story that continues to captivate audiences across generations. It serves as a testament to human ambition and resilience while also exploring themes of love and betrayal through its central characters: Jason and Medea.
