EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we witness a powerful and mythical moment frozen in time. The image depicts Thetis, a sea nymph and mother of the legendary Greek hero Achilles, as she dips her son into the sacred waters of the River Styx. The composition is filled with an ethereal ambiance that transports us to another realm. The misty atmosphere shrouds Thetis and Achilles as they stand at the edge of the mystical river. Bathed in soft light, their figures seem to glow with divine energy. Thetis's face reflects both determination and tenderness as she carefully lowers Achilles into the water. According to ancient mythology, this act was believed to grant him invulnerability - except for his heel which remained untouched by its magical powers. The artist has masterfully captured every detail: from Thetis' flowing gown billowing around her like waves crashing against rocks, to Achilles' youthful vulnerability juxtaposed against his destined greatness. This print serves not only as a visual feast but also invites contemplation on themes such as destiny, sacrifice, and maternal love. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork, we are reminded of our own mortal limitations while being transported into a world where gods and heroes intertwine. It is through images like these that art allows us to explore timeless stories that have shaped human imagination for centuries.
