EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a powerful and tragic scene titled "Apollo Diana kill children Niobe life copies (Apollo and Diana kill the children of Niobe The life of Niobe (copies) (series title)". In this artwork, created by Giovanni Battista Galestruzzi in Rome around 1656, we witness a heart-wrenching moment unfold. The image depicts Apollo and Diana, both armed with bows and arrows, mercilessly slaying the innocent offspring of Niobe. The devastating aftermath is laid bare before us as several lifeless bodies lie scattered on the ground while others desperately attempt to escape their impending doom. Niobe herself sits helplessly on the left side of the composition, her anguish palpable as she witnesses her beloved children being ruthlessly taken away from her. This haunting portrayal captures not only the immense grief experienced by a mother but also serves as a cautionary tale about hubris and its dire consequences. Galestruzzi's masterful use of paper etching brings an incredible level of detail to this piece. The dimensions of 111 mm in height and 336 mm in width allow for an intimate examination of every element within this sorrowful scene. As we contemplate this artwork, let us remember that it belongs to a series entitled "Apollo Diana kill children Niobe life copies" which explores various interpretations surrounding this tragic mythological event.
