EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the ancient world of Greek mythology. In this scene from Sebastian Munster's "Cosmographia" we witness the dramatic transformation of Ulysses and his companions into pigs by the powerful magician Circe. The Swiss School artist skillfully captures the moment when these brave heroes are turned into helpless animals, their human forms fading away. The engraving showcases a boat in which Ulysses and his crew embarked on their perilous journey, now tainted with an air of darkness and danger. The atmosphere is eerie as Circe's witchcraft unfolds before our eyes, reminding us of the mystical forces that exist beyond our understanding. Through this artwork, Giancarlo Costa invites us to explore themes such as heroism, mythological characters, and occult science. It serves as a reminder that even great heroes like Ulysses can fall victim to supernatural powers if they dare to challenge them. As we gaze upon this intriguing image, we are transported back in time to an era where magic was real and mythical creatures roamed the earth. This piece not only captivates our imagination but also reminds us of humanity's eternal fascination with stories that blur the lines between reality and fantasy.
