EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print, dating back to the 16th century, captures a mesmerizing scene from Greek mythology. Created by renowned artists Ugo da Carpi, Parmigianino, and Andrea Andreani, this chiaroscuro woodcut showcases Circe, the enchantress of ancient tales. Standing gracefully on a wharf adorned with dragon-like serpents, Circe extends a drink towards passing sailors aboard their ship. The artist's masterful use of light and shadow in this retro-styled artwork adds depth and drama to the composition. The technique known as chiaroscuro creates an intriguing contrast between the illuminated figure of Circe and the dark background that surrounds her. Circe's seductive allure is evident as she offers her enticing elixir to unsuspecting sailors. With her captivating presence and magical powers, she lures them into her spellbinding world. This print beautifully captures both the mystique of Greek mythology and the artistry of its creators. As we delve into history through this remarkable piece of art, we are transported to an era where myths intertwined with reality. It serves as a visual reminder of our fascination with ancient legends and how they continue to inspire us today
