EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing "Head of Gorgon, 1895" by Giulio Aristide Sartorio. The artwork can be found in the esteemed Collection of Galleria nazionale d'arte moderna in Rome, Italy. Drawing inspiration from Greek mythology and symbolism, Sartorio skillfully captures the essence of Medusa, one of the most iconic figures in ancient tales. Known as a gorgon with serpents for hair and a gaze that could turn anyone to stone, Medusa's visage is both terrifying and alluring. In this fine art image, Sartorio employs pastel on cardboard to bring forth intricate details and subtle nuances. The delicate strokes create a sense of movement within Medusa's serpentine locks while emphasizing her piercing eyes that seem to follow you wherever you stand. The artist masterfully combines allegory and literature by referencing Ovid's famous account of Perseus slaying Medusa with his polished shield. This portrayal not only highlights the mythological narrative but also explores themes such as power dynamics and heroism. Sartorio's interpretation invites viewers into a world where mythical creatures coexist with humanity’s deepest fears and desires. It serves as a reminder that even within darkness lies beauty worth exploring. As an invaluable piece housed at Galleria nazionale d'arte moderna in Rome, this stunning artwork continues to captivate audiences worldwide with its timeless allure and profound exploration of Greek mythology.
