EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Death of Adonis," dates back to the 16th century and was created by the renowned Italian artist, Giulio Romano. The print, which is believed to be a chalk drawing on laid paper, depicts the poignant moment from Greek mythology when Adonis, a handsome and beloved young man, is fatally gored by a boar during a hunting expedition. In this powerful and moving depiction, Adonis lies lifeless on the ground, his beard and facial hair now still, as his friends and lover, Venus, mournfully cradle his lifeless form. The intricate details of the drawing, from the textured fabric of the mourners' robes to the expressive and emotive facial expressions, showcase Giulio Romano's masterful skill as a draftsman. This historic artwork, a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Italy, is now part of the permanent collection at the Art Institute of Chicago and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art and the depiction of mythological stories in European art.
