Metamorphosis of the Pierides
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating etching published in 1606, created by the Italian artist Antonio Tempesta and the German engraver Wilhelm Janson. This masterpiece is based on Book V of Ovid's "Metamorphoses," an ancient Roman epic poem that tells the story of transformations in Greek mythology. In this intricately detailed etching, Tempesta and Janson depict the moment when the goddesses of the Muses, the Pierides, are transformed into birds as a punishment from Apollo for laughing at the god's attempted seduction of the water nymph, Leukothea. The scene is filled with a sense of motion and transformation, as the figures morph into birds mid-flight. The Pierides are depicted in various stages of their transformation, some with human limbs merging into avian forms, while others have already taken on full bird bodies. The etching showcases the Baroque era's love for dramatic, elaborate depictions of mythological stories. The black and white contrast adds to the intensity and creates a timeless quality, transporting us to ancient Greece and Rome. The intricate lettering at the bottom of the print identifies the figures and provides context from the source material, making it an essential piece for anyone interested in mythology, art history, or literature. This etching is a testament to the enduring appeal of Greek and Roman mythology, and a beautiful example of the artistic collaboration between Tempesta and Janson. Today, it can be found at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Europe and the ancient world.
