EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Birth of Adonis" by Philips Galle, we are transported to a mythical world where the extraordinary becomes reality. The scene unfolds deep within a lush forest, where an ancient tree splits open to reveal a miraculous sight. Naiads, nymphs of the water, surround the birth of Adonis as they assist his mother in her labor. With tender care and ethereal grace, they ensure a safe delivery for this divine child. Adonis himself emerges from the trunk of a myrrh tree, symbolizing both his unique origins and his future destiny. The significance of this moment is not lost on us - Adonis is no ordinary child. He is the son of Myrrha and Cinyras, their forbidden love story forever etched into mythology's tapestry. As he takes his first breaths in this enchanted forest, it becomes clear that he carries with him immense potential and power. Philips Galle masterfully captures the essence of life's beginnings in this exquisite print. Through intricate details and delicate strokes, he invites us to witness an extraordinary event that transcends time itself. Quint Lox's artistic eye has preserved this remarkable piece for generations to come. As we gaze upon "Birth of Adonis" let us marvel at nature's ability to create beauty even amidst chaos. Let us ponder our own origins and contemplate what lies ahead for each new life that enters our world.
