This photo print, titled "Plate 97 Hippomenes Winning Race Atalanta Atalantam Veneris ope vincit Hippomenes" is a stunning representation of an ancient Greek mythological tale. The image depicts the exhilarating moment when Hippomenes emerges victorious in a race against the swift and beautiful Atalanta. The artwork, created by Antonio Tempesta, an Italian artist from Florence who lived between 1555 and 1630, showcases his exceptional talent for etching. With intricate details and masterful shading techniques, Tempesta brings this mythical scene to life on a sheet measuring approximately 4 1/8 x 5/8 inches (104 x 117 cm). The story behind this artwork originates from Ovid's Metamorphoses and tells the tale of how love triumphs over all obstacles. In order to win Atalanta's hand in marriage, Hippomenes seeks Venus' help. As they race through the fields, he cleverly drops golden apples along their path which distract Atalanta enough for him to secure victory. This mesmerizing print captures the intensity of the race as well as the emotions felt by both characters involved. It serves as a reminder that determination and ingenuity can overcome even seemingly insurmountable challenges. Artokoloro has done justice to this remarkable piece with their high-quality printing technique. This print is not only aesthetically pleasing but also offers viewers an opportunity to delve into classical
