EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Arethusa," is a masterpiece created by the renowned Flemish engraver Philip Galle in the late 16th century. The image depicts the mythological figure Arethusa, a beautiful nymph from Greek mythology, as she sits naked on the banks of a river, surrounded by reeds. According to the myth, Arethusa was pursued relentlessly by the river god Alpheus, who was smitten by her beauty. In order to escape his advances, she was transformed by the gods into a spring of clear water, with her image continuing to appear on the surface. Galle's interpretation of this mythological tale is both elegant and intriguing. The nymph is depicted in a serene and graceful pose, her body adorned only by the natural beauty of her surroundings. The use of contrasting black and white in the engraving adds depth and dimension to the image, highlighting the intricate details of the reeds and the textured surface of the water. This engraving is a testament to the artistic prowess of Philip Galle during the Renaissance period in Flanders, Belgium. It is a stunning example of the Netherlandish art tradition, which emphasized intricate detail and precise technique. Today, this precious work of art can be found at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
