EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Giulio Bonasone takes us back to the 16th century, immersing us in a scene of mythological beauty. In the foreground, we see Pan, the mischievous Greek god of nature and shepherds, seated next to a graceful female figure holding a cornucopia - possibly a nymph or Pomona, the goddess of fruitfulness. Their presence exudes an air of tranquility and harmony. At the right side of the image, Cupid adds his playful touch as he joyfully plays cymbals in front of a herm - a sculpted pillar with a head on top. Meanwhile, hanging from a tree at left are various musical instruments such as pipes and cymbals, along with Pan's signature bow and satchel full of arrows. The composition is masterfully etched by Bonasone's skilled hand, capturing every intricate detail with precision. The contrast between light and shadow creates depth within this enchanting woodland setting. As we gaze upon this artwork from centuries ago preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we can't help but be transported into an ancient world where gods roamed freely among mortals. It serves as both an homage to Italian heritage artistry and an invitation for viewers to delve into the rich tapestry of Greek mythology that continues to inspire artists even today.
