EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "River gods consoling Peneus Loss Daughter Daphne" by Artokoloro from the Liszt Collection transports viewers to a mythical world filled with sorrow and divine intervention. The engraving, measuring approximately 7 1/8 x 9 5/8 inches (181 x 244 cm), beautifully captures the emotional essence of this ancient tale. In this scene, we witness the river gods offering solace to Peneus, who is grieving over the loss of his beloved daughter, Daphne. According to Greek mythology, Daphne was pursued relentlessly by Apollo until she pleaded with her father for help. In response to her plea, Peneus transformed her into a laurel tree in order to protect her from Apollo's advances. The intricate details engraved by the master of the die bring life and depth to each character's expression as they console one another amidst their shared anguish. The Italian artist Baldassare Tommaso Peruzzi skillfully designed this artwork during his active years in Rome between 1481 and 1536. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the power of love and sacrifice depicted within ancient myths. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with these timeless stories that continue to inspire artists across generations.
