EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, titled "Illustration from Hypnerotomachia Poliphili" takes us back to the enchanting world of ancient mythology and romance. Created by Francesco Colonna in 1499, this artwork is a visual representation of his renowned novel, "Hypnerotomachia Poliphili" or "Poliphilo's Strife of Love in a Dream". In this dreamlike scene, we witness the triumphal procession encountered by the protagonist, Poliphilo, and his beloved Polia. As they journey through their reverie, they are surrounded by an array of mythical creatures and symbols. The most striking element is Leda and the swan riding in a chariot pulled by an elephant – a powerful image that intertwines love with divine intervention. The composition exudes both grandeur and intimacy as musicians play tambourines while banners flutter above them. It encapsulates the essence of love's triumph over adversity within its mythological context. Colonna's illustration not only showcases his artistic skill but also reflects the cultural fascination with ancient Greece during the Renaissance period. It highlights themes such as metamorphosis, nudity, sexuality, and pagan deities that were prevalent in Greek mythology. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to delve into a world where gods and mortals coexist harmoniously – where love conquers all obstacles even within dreams.
