EDITORS COMMENTS
This 15th century painting, titled 'The Myth of Io' by Bartolomeo di Giovanni, brings to life the ancient Greek myth as told by the renowned Roman poet Ovid in his 'Metamorphoses.' The narrative unfolds from left to right, beginning with Jupiter's seduction of the beautiful nymph Io. Unaware of her lover's true identity, Io is blissfully unaware that she has become the object of jealousy for Jupiter's wife, Juno. As the scene progresses, Juno's envy grows, and she transforms Io into a heifer to hide her from Jupiter's gaze. Io, now a cow, is led away by a shepherd, who tends to her in a pastoral setting. The transformation is not permanent, however, and the subsequent scenes depict Io's eventual return to human form. The painting's rich colors and intricate details bring the myth to life, transporting the viewer to a time and place far removed from the modern world. The use of oil on wood gives the image a depth and texture that invites closer inspection, revealing the skill and artistry of Bartolomeo di Giovanni. This painting is a testament to the enduring power of Greek mythology and the ability of art to capture the imagination and transport us to another world. The narrative of Io's transformation is a timeless tale of love, jealousy, and the capricious nature of the gods, making it a valuable addition to the heritage of art and literature.
