EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Teiresias beats two mating snakes, from Ovids Metamorphoses" by Hendrik Goltzius takes us into a mythical realm where transformation and power collide. In this scene, we find ourselves deep within a mystical forest as Teiresias, the central figure, confronts two entwined serpents. Legend has it that Teiresias once encountered these mating snakes and decided to intervene. With great force and determination, he strikes them with an intensity that would forever alter his destiny. As the story goes, this act of bravery caused him to undergo a profound metamorphosis - transforming him into a woman. Intriguingly, the artist masterfully captures not only this pivotal moment but also hints at what lies ahead in the background on the left side of the print. We catch a glimpse of Teiresias' future self as he reverts back to his original form after another encounter with two mating snakes. Goltzius skillfully brings forth both the physicality and symbolism inherent in this tale through intricate details and exquisite lines. The image evokes contemplation about themes such as gender identity, power dynamics, and nature's transformative forces. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from 1615 housed in Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum, we are transported to an ancient world where myth intertwines with reality – inviting us to ponder our own capacity for change and resilience amidst life's ever-unfolding mysteries.
