EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a mesmerizing scene titled "Galatea escaping Polyphemus seated rock holding" by Marco Dente, an Italian artist active during the early 16th century. The engraving depicts Galatea, a sea nymph from Greek mythology, fleeing from Polyphemus, the Cyclops. In this intricate artwork, Galatea is seen perched on a rocky outcrop while clutching a staff and pipes. Her gaze is fixed towards Galatea as she rides on the back of two dolphins, their graceful movement captured beautifully in this composition. A flying cupid hovers above them, adding an element of whimsy to the scene. The attention to detail in this print is remarkable; every line and stroke brings life to these mythological characters. The sheet has been expertly trimmed to measure approximately 4 3/8 by 6 13/16 inches (11.1 by 17.3 cm), making it a compact yet impactful piece of art. Marco Dente's skillful execution transports viewers into an enchanting world where gods and nymphs come alive through his engravings. This particular artwork captures a pivotal moment in Greek mythology with its dynamic composition and expressive figures. As part of Artokoloro's collection, this print allows art enthusiasts to appreciate Dente's mastery even centuries after his death in Rome around 1527. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of classical tales depicted through
