EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing artwork titled "Baroque: Galatee (Galathee) et Polypheme - Galatea and Polyphemus" by Domenico Fetti. Created around 1621, this oil painting on wood measures 41.5x96.4 and is housed in the Art History Museum in Vienna. The image transports us to a world of mythological wonder, where we witness the tragic love story between Galatea and Polyphemus unfold. In this baroque masterpiece, Fetti skillfully captures the emotions of separation and longing as Galatea, a fictional nymph from Greek mythology, gazes back at her lover while being transported away on a wagon. Surrounded by rocky coastal scenery with crashing waves below, the scene is filled with symbolism and intricate details. The presence of an angel hovering above adds an ethereal touch to the composition, emphasizing themes of spirituality and divine intervention. Fetti's mastery lies not only in his ability to depict human emotion but also in his portrayal of animals. Here we see a fish swimming alongside Galatea's wagon, symbolizing wildlife intertwined with mythical narratives. As we delve into this artwork rooted in antiquity and inspired by Homer's epic poems, it becomes evident that Fetti was deeply influenced by Italian art traditions. This piece serves as a testament to his talent for storytelling through paintbrush strokes. Overall, this print invites viewers to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of history, religion
