EDITORS COMMENTS
Balthasar Moncornet's captivating etching, titled "Goddesses on the River," transports us to a mythological realm where the divine and natural world intertwine. This black and white artwork, an etching on laid paper, is a testament to Moncornet's mastery of the art form. The scene unfolds on the banks of a serene river, where two goddesses gracefully ride on the backs of mythical beasts. One goddess, depicted as a woman of regal beauty, rides a majestic horse, while the other, a man with the features of a god, rides a fearsome dragon. The goddesses, dressed in flowing robes, seem to embody the essence of power and grace. The artist, Remigio Cantagallina, expertly captures the dynamic interplay between the riders and their beasts, as well as the tranquil beauty of the river and its surroundings. This pageant of goddesses and mythical creatures is a stunning depiction of the rich heritage of mythology and religion, and a reminder of the enduring power of art to transport us to other worlds." "Moncornet's "Goddesses on the River" is a treasure of the art world, and can be found in the prestigious collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. This artwork invites us to contemplate the role of women and men in mythology, the relationship between humans and mythical creatures, and the power of art to capture the imagination and inspire awe. Whether viewed in person or in reproduction, this etching is a must-see for anyone interested in art, history, or mythology.
