EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing painting by Giuseppe Bartolomeo Chiari, titled "Latona turning the shepherds into frogs". Set against a picturesque landscape in Lycia, Italy, this mythological scene unfolds with great intensity. In the center of the composition stands Latona, a powerful goddess from Greek mythology. With an air of authority and determination, she casts her spell upon a group of unsuspecting peasants who were once humble shepherds. As if caught in mid-transformation, their bodies morph into amphibious creatures - frogs. The artist's skillful brushstrokes beautifully depict this metamorphosis as each shepherd becomes one with nature. The tranquil pond serves as both witness and accomplice to this divine act. Its still waters reflect the unfolding drama while providing a serene backdrop for the enchanting scene. One cannot help but be captivated by the juxtaposition of beauty and mysticism that permeates every inch of this artwork. Chiari's masterful interpretation brings to life an ancient myth that revolves around Latona's vengeance towards those who wronged her. It is said that these peasants had denied her access to water when she was desperately thirsty during her pregnancy with Apollo and Artemis – children fathered by Zeus himself. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time to witness not only an extraordinary moment in mythology but also appreciate Chiari's artistic prowess in capturing such intricate details and emotions within his work.
