EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th-century copperplate engraving captures the dramatic moment from Ovid's Metamorphoses when Cadmus and Hermione are transformed into snakes. The intricate details of this print, created by W. Walker after an illustration by Charles Eisen, bring to life the mythological characters in all their glory.
Cadmus and Hermione, figures from ancient Greek mythology, are depicted in a state of metamorphosis as they undergo a profound change into serpents. The artist skillfully conveys the emotion and intensity of this transformative moment, capturing the essence of love and sacrifice between these two mythical beings.
The rich symbolism of this image reflects themes of transformation, love, and destiny that are central to classical mythology. As Cadmus and Hermione embrace their new forms as serpents, we are reminded of the power of myth to explore complex human emotions and experiences.
This engraving is not just a visual representation but a window into the world of ancient Greece and Rome. It serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of classical myths on art and culture throughout history.
Overall, this print is a testament to the timeless appeal of mythological stories and their ability to inspire artists across centuries. It invites viewers to contemplate themes of change, fate, and eternal love through the lens of ancient legend.
