EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of divine intervention as the Gods of Healing and Chastity attend to the deceased Hippolytos. Taken from Les Metamorphoses d'Ovide, this engraving by Bernard Picart in 1732 showcases his remarkable talent for bringing mythology to life. In this detail view, we witness the ethereal presence of these gods surrounding Hippolytos' lifeless body. The atmosphere is filled with both sorrow and hope as they perform their sacred duties. With delicate precision, Picart portrays each deity's unique attributes: one holds a healing staff while another carries symbols representing chastity. The scene evokes a sense of reverence and awe, emphasizing the power and grace of these mythical beings. Their solemn expressions convey their deep concern for Hippolytos' fate, perhaps hinting at an underlying narrative that unfolds within Ovid's epic poem. This image serves as a reminder of humanity's eternal fascination with ancient tales and our enduring quest for understanding life's mysteries. It invites us to reflect on themes such as mortality, redemption, and the intricate relationship between divinity and human existence. As we gaze upon this masterful artwork, let us appreciate its historical significance while allowing ourselves to be transported into a realm where gods walk among mortals – where healing meets chastity in an extraordinary display of otherworldly compassion.
