EDITORS COMMENTS
In this etching titled "Mercury and Argus" created by the talented Dutch artist Anthonie Waterloo in the 17th century, we are transported into a mythical world filled with intrigue and drama. The print showcases the ancient Greek myth of Mercury (or Hermes), the messenger of the gods, who is depicted here engaging in a cunning act. The central focus of the artwork lies on Argus, a giant with one hundred eyes who was assigned by Juno to guard Io, her husband Jupiter's lover. In an attempt to rescue Io from Argus' watchful gaze, Mercury takes on various disguises throughout the story. In this particular scene captured by Waterloo's skilled hand, we witness Mercury disguised as a shepherd playing his flute while lulling Argus into a deep slumber. Waterloo masterfully captures both tension and tranquility within this single frame. The intricate details showcased in every line and shadow highlight his technical prowess as an etcher. Through his artistry, he transports us back to ancient Greece where myths were born and legends unfolded. This remarkable piece is part of Heritage Art/Heritage Images' collection housed at The Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio. It serves as a testament to not only Waterloo's talent but also our enduring fascination with mythology and storytelling through visual arts.
