EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Aganippe," is a masterpiece created by the renowned Flemish engraver Philip Galle in 1587. Part of his series "Nymphs," this monochrome print showcases the ethereal beauty of Greek mythology. The image depicts Aganippe, a nymph known for her association with water and the art of poetry. She is shown in a serene setting, with her flowing hair cascading down her back as she leans over a crystal-clear pool, her hand delicately touching the water's surface. The intricate details in the engraving, from the delicate folds of her gown to the ripples in the water, are a testament to Galle's exceptional skill. This beautiful work of art, with its timeless symbolism and enduring appeal, is a treasure of heritage art and a must-see addition to any collection focusing on mythology or the art of the sixteenth century. Currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, "Aganippe" continues to inspire and captivate viewers, reminding us of the power of art to transport us to another world.
