Battus Changed into a Stone
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by the renowned Dutch artist Hendrik Goltzius, published in the late 16th century. This masterpiece, now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcases the mythological tale of Battus, a shepherd who was transformed into a stone as a result of his own actions. The image is rich in detail, with Battus depicted in the lower left corner, his human form now replaced by rough, textured stones. His face, still recognizable, is etched with a look of shock and disbelief. In the background, a herdsman and other men are shown, seemingly unaware of the transformation that has taken place. The scene is set in a rural agricultural landscape, with rolling hills, trees, and a serene river in the distance. The lettering at the top of the print reads "Battus in Lapide Transformatus," a Latin phrase meaning "Battus Transformed into a Stone." This reference to Ovid's "Metamorphoses," a seminal work of classical literature, highlights the importance of mythology and the transformative power of nature in Goltzius' work. The black and white contrast of the engraving adds to the overall effect, emphasizing the starkness of Battus' transformation and the stillness of the scene. This print is a testament to the artistic heritage of the Low Countries during the 16th century and continues to captivate viewers with its intricate detail and thought-provoking subject matter.
