EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the classical myth of Apollo and the Sibyl, a tale of love, promises, and age. In this story, Apollo promises his lover Sibyl that she may live as many years as she can hold grains of sand in her hand. However, as time passes, Sibyl becomes very aged and eventually transforms into nothing more than a voice - the oracular Sibyl of Cuma.
The image beautifully captures the essence of this ancient myth, with Apollo standing tall and regal while the aged Sibyl gazes up at him with a mixture of love and resignation. The contrast between their youthful appearance and her elderly form serves as a poignant reminder of the passage of time and the inevitability of aging.
The historical significance of this myth is evident in every detail of the print, from Apollo's classical attire to the grains of sand slipping through Sibyl's fingers. It is a powerful representation not only of love and loss but also of the enduring power of storytelling throughout history.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when myths were used to explain life's mysteries and lessons were learned through allegory. It is a testament to the timeless appeal of these stories that continue to captivate us even today.
