EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Italian earthenware dish titled "Birth of Adonis, Ovid: Metamorphoses X" created by Francesco Durantino in 1541. The dish depicts a scene from Ovid's renowned literary work, where Theias strikes a tree with an arrow, causing it to burst open and reveal the emergence of Adonis. The intricate details and vibrant colors painted on this tin-glazed earthenware piece transport viewers back to the 16th century Italy. Shades of brown and purple beautifully adorn the crockery, adding depth and richness to the artwork. Francesco Durantino's skillful craftsmanship is evident in every brushstroke as he brings this mythological tale to life. The delicate portrayal of people, nature, and objects reflects his mastery of both artistry and storytelling. This remarkable dish not only serves as a testament to Durantino's talent but also pays homage to Ovid's enduring influence on literature and art. It stands as a symbol of artistic expression during the Renaissance period when mythology played an integral role in shaping cultural narratives. As we gaze upon this extraordinary creation captured in CM Dixon's photograph, we are reminded of the timeless beauty that can be found within ancient tales brought forth through visual arts.
