EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Procne, Philomela, and Tereus Driven Insane or Progne e Filomena presentano a Teseo la Testa di suo Figlio da Loro Ucciso" transports us into the realm of Greek mythology. Created by Luigi Ademollo in 1832, this hand-coloured engraving beautifully captures a pivotal moment from Ovid's Metamorphoses. The scene depicted showcases the tragic tale of Procne and Philomela, sisters who seek revenge on their brother-in-law Tereus for his heinous act. In an act of unimaginable cruelty, Tereus had cut out Philomela's tongue to prevent her from revealing his crime. Undeterred by this horrific act, the sisters devise a plan to exact justice. Presenting the severed head of their own son to Theseus, a hero renowned in Greek mythology for his bravery and wisdom, Procne and Philomela reveal the gruesome truth behind their suffering. The anguish and madness that consume them are palpable as they confront Theseus with undeniable evidence of Tereus' monstrous deeds. Ademollo's masterful use of color brings life to this haunting image. The intricate details in every stroke highlight the intensity of emotions felt by each character involved - sorrow mixed with rage; despair entwined with determination. Through this powerful visual representation, we are reminded not only of the enduring impact of classical myths but also how art has always served
