Aurora Taking Leave of Tithonus, 1704
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Francesco Solimena that depicts a poignant moment from Greek mythology. In this mesmerizing artwork, Aurora, the goddess of dawn, bids farewell to her mortal lover Tithonus as he succumbs to old age. Solimena's masterful brushstrokes bring this ancient legend to life on canvas. The composition showcases Aurora enthroned in all her divine glory, surrounded by cherubs and putti representing the passage of time. As darkness gives way to daylight, the young goddess delicately places a floral wreath upon Tithonus' head, symbolizing his eternal youthfulness. The artist skillfully contrasts light and dark elements throughout the painting. The radiant torch held by Aurora illuminates their bittersweet parting while emphasizing the fleeting nature of human existence. Vibrant flowers scattered around them further enhance the sense of beauty and transience. This Baroque masterpiece not only captures a mythical tale but also explores universal themes such as mortality and immortality. Solimena's attention to detail and his ability to evoke emotion make "Aurora Taking Leave of Tithonus" an unforgettable work that continues to captivate viewers centuries later. Displayed at J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, USA, this Italian artwork serves as a testament to Solimena's artistic prowess and enduring legacy in European art history.
