EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a lead plaque depicting Ate and the Litae, created by the talented artist Peter Flotner in Nuremberg during the 1540s. The intricate details and craftsmanship of this piece are truly remarkable, drawing viewers into a world of mythology and mischief.
Ate, the goddess of mischief who was expelled from Olympus, is depicted alongside the Litae, goddesses of prayers. The contrast between these two figures symbolizes the duality of human nature - our desires for chaos and order, mischief and peace.
The circular shape of the plaque adds to its allure, drawing attention to the central figures and their dynamic interaction. Each element in this composition has been carefully thought out by Flotner, showcasing his skill as an artist.
Displayed at the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, this piece is not only a visual delight but also a window into ancient Greek mythology. It serves as a reminder that even gods and goddesses are not immune to conflict and consequences.
Overall, this print captures a moment frozen in time - one that invites us to ponder on themes of fate, prayer, mischief, and ultimately humanity's eternal struggle with our own inner demons.
