EDITORS COMMENTS
Pallas Praises Nature at the Birth of the Infantes, Promising to Protect Them from Evil," is a captivating allegorical etching by the renowned Italian artist, Antonio Tempesta, created in 1612. This masterpiece is part of Tempesta's series, "The History of the Seven Sons of Lara," and is a testament to the rich artistic traditions of the Baroque era. The image depicts the ancient Greek goddess Pallas Athena, or Athene, cradling two infants, symbolizing the new life and innocence of America, the New World. The goddess, dressed in classical attire, extends her right hand towards the heavens, invoking the blessings of the gods, while her left hand rests protectively on the babies. The goddess's serene expression conveys her promise to safeguard the infants from harm and evil. The background of the etching is filled with intricate details of nature, including lush greenery, flowers, and animals, symbolizing the fertility and abundance of the New World. The use of black and white contrast enhances the dramatic effect of the image, making it a timeless piece of art that continues to captivate viewers. Pallas Athena, the goddess of wisdom, courage, and warfare, was a central figure in Greek mythology. Her presence in this allegory signifies the protection and guidance of the new continent, as well as the promise of wisdom and strength to its people. This etching is a beautiful representation of the cultural and historical significance of the New World and its connection to ancient mythology. This masterpiece is now part of the impressive collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the past.
