EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the Golden donkey from "The Metamorphoses" by Apulee (Lucius Apuleius), as depicted in a 19th-century reproduction of an engraving for a German collection of tales and recents of antiquity and the Middle Ages published by Nicolas von Weil in 1536. The intricate details of the engraving bring to life this mythical creature, known for its transformative powers and mysterious allure.
The woman in the image appears mesmerized by the golden donkey, perhaps drawn in by its magical presence or enchanted by the folktale it represents. As she gazes at the animal, one can almost feel a sense of wonder and curiosity emanating from her expression.
This scene is not just a simple depiction of a donkey; it is a glimpse into a world where literature meets art, where ancient stories are brought to life through visual interpretation. The combination of myth and reality creates a sense of timelessness that transcends centuries, reminding us that tales like these have endured through generations.
Through this photo print, we are invited to explore the realms of imagination and storytelling, where animals can be more than just creatures – they can be symbols of transformation, wisdom, and magic. And in this moment captured by Leonard de Selva's lens, we witness the beauty and mystery of the Golden donkey come alive once again.
