EDITORS COMMENTS
This copperplate engraving depicts the dramatic transformation of Picus into a woodpecker by the powerful magician Circe. The scene is filled with tension and magic as Circe, with a look of determination on her face, casts her spell upon the haughty Picus.
The intricate details in this 18th-century artwork bring to life the ancient Greek mythological tale of Picus and Circe. The enchanting woman is portrayed as a sorceress with mystical powers, capable of changing beings at will. As she waves her wand, Picus begins his metamorphosis into a beautiful woodpecker.
The artist skillfully captures the moment of transformation, showing Picus' wings starting to sprout from his back as he becomes one with nature. The bird's vibrant colors contrast against the dark background, emphasizing the magical nature of this scene.
This print not only showcases the talent of W. Walker and Charles Eisen but also serves as a reminder of the consequences that come with arrogance and pride. Through this curse-turned-punishment, we are reminded that even those who seem invincible can be brought down by their own desires.
Overall, this stunning artwork invites viewers to delve into ancient mythology and explore themes such as power, magic, and transformation through its detailed depiction of Circe's spell on Picus.
