EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Cyparissus from set The Rural Gods, 1565" takes us back to the 16th century with its exquisite detail and powerful imagery. Created by Cornelis Cort, a Dutch engraver known for his exceptional skill in capturing emotion through his art, this piece is truly a masterpiece. The print depicts Cyparissus, a mythical figure from Greek mythology. In this scene, we see him as a young man standing amidst nature's beauty - an enchanting cypress tree towering behind him. With an arrow in hand and a quiver on his back, he embodies the essence of hunting and warfare. However, what makes this image particularly intriguing is the incident that unfolds before our eyes. A majestic deer lies lifeless at Cyparissus' feet - an accidental victim of his own skills as a hunter. This tragic transformation captures both the fragility of life and the consequences of our actions. Cornelis Cort's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. The intricate branches surrounding Cyparissus create depth and add to the overall composition of the artwork. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met), this old master print serves as a testament to Cornelis Cort's artistic prowess and mastery over capturing human emotions within mythological narratives. It invites viewers into a world where ancient tales come alive through stunning engravings like this one.
