Awful Disguises Loves Reject Stories Tells Hamadryad Myth
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the classical tale of Vertumnia and Hamadryad, a story steeped in history and myth. In this scene, Vertumnia finds herself in unrequited love with the hamadryad, who does not return her affections. Undeterred by his rejection, she cleverly disguises herself as an old woman to approach him.
As the disguised Vertumnia shares dreadful stories of the consequences of rejecting love, we see the desperation and determination in her eyes. Her love for the hamadryad is so strong that she is willing to go to great lengths to win his heart.
The intricate details in this print bring to life a moment from ancient tales where love, deceit, and transformation intertwine. The tension between these two characters is palpable as they navigate their complex emotions and desires.
Through this image, we are reminded of the power of love and how it can drive individuals to extraordinary measures. It serves as a timeless reminder that matters of the heart have always been central themes in human history and storytelling.
Mary Evans Prints Online has beautifully captured this poignant moment from classical mythology, inviting us to delve into a world where passion and longing collide with deception and sacrifice.
