EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable engraving titled "Triton and Sirene in the Mediterranean Sea" from "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" by Abrahm Ortelius, Antwerp 1584. The image takes us on a journey back in time, immersing us in the mythical world of ancient Greece. In this enchanting scene, we witness the meeting of two extraordinary beings - Triton and Sirene. As part of Greek mythology, Triton is known as the son of Poseidon and Amphitrite, often depicted as a merman with a human upper body and fish-like tail. Sirenes are legendary creatures resembling beautiful women with bird-like wings who lured sailors to their demise with their irresistible songs. Set against the backdrop of the vast Mediterranean Sea, this engraving captures both awe-inspiring beauty and danger. The intricate details bring these mythical figures to life; Triton's muscular form contrasts with Sirene's ethereal gracefulness. Their encounter evokes curiosity about what fate awaits them amidst turbulent waters. Created by Abraham Ortelius during the Renaissance period, this piece not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also provides valuable geographical information through its inclusion within "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum". It reminds us that art can be both aesthetically pleasing and educational. Thanks to Giancarlo Costa's skillful photography, we can now appreciate this historical artwork from our own private collection. This print invites viewers
