EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Sebastiano Marsili, titled "Atalanta and Hippomenes" created in 1572. Painted with oil on slate, this masterpiece is housed in the Palazzo Vecchio (Palazzo della Signoria) in Florence, Italy. The image captures a pivotal moment from Greek mythology as Atalanta and Hippomenes engage in a thrilling race. The artist skillfully portrays the intensity of the competition by depicting a chariot pulled by powerful horses. In their hands, they hold golden apples - an essential element of this ancient tale. Amidst the action-packed scene, we see the Temple of Cybele serving as a backdrop. This sacred place adds depth to the narrative while symbolizing divine intervention during this fateful race. Marsili's Mannerist style shines through his meticulous attention to detail and vibrant color palette. Every stroke brings life to Atalanta's flowing robes and Hippomenes' determined expression. Displayed within Francesco I de' Medici's Studiolo di Francesco I, this painting becomes part of an exclusive collection that celebrates beauty and intellectuality. Through Raffaello Bencini's expert photography skills, we are granted access to admire every brushstroke up close. This stunning print allows us to appreciate Marsili's artistic genius while immersing ourselves in one of history's most enthralling tales – where love, ambition, and destiny intertwine under Venus' watchful eye.
