EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases an extraordinary artwork titled "Illustrations Metamorphoses Ovid Jupiter Io. 1" by Artokoloro. The piece, created in the late 17th century, depicts a scene from Ovid's Metamorphoses where Jupiter disguises himself as a white beifer to approach Io discreetly. The intricate details of this illustration are brought to life through the skilled use of black chalk, pen, brown ink, and gray wash on a brown sheet measuring 6 1/2 x 8 11/16 inches (165 x 22 cm). The artist behind this masterpiece is Godfried Maes, hailing from Antwerp and active during the years 1649-1700. In this particular scene captured within the drawing, we witness Mercury coming to rescue Io who has been under surveillance by Argus. The tension between these mythological characters is palpable as their fates intertwine amidst divine intervention and mortal struggles. Artokoloro's ability to convey emotions and narratives through their illustrations is truly remarkable. This print allows us to appreciate every stroke and line that brings forth a sense of drama and intrigue within ancient mythology. As we gaze upon this stunning work of art, we are transported back in time to experience the rich storytelling traditions that have captivated audiences for centuries. It serves as a testament to both Artokoloro's artistic prowess and our enduring fascination with classical tales woven into visual masterpieces like
