EDITORS COMMENTS
Benedetto Montagna's Birth of Adonis, created around 1515-1520, is a captivating depiction of a scene from Greek mythology. The print showcases the moment of Adonis's birth, as the goddess Myrrha, disguised as a tree, embraces the unsuspecting king, Indulus, who is about to harvest wood from the tree in which Myrrha has taken refuge. Myrrha's true identity is revealed, and she is filled with shame and despair as she gives birth to Adonis, the most beautiful child ever born. The image is set outdoors, with the lush greenery of nature surrounding the figures. The trees, in various stages of growth, provide a backdrop for the human drama unfolding. The use of black and white adds a sense of timelessness and gravity to the scene. The figures are depicted with great care and detail, from the intricate folds of their clothing to the expressive gestures of their faces. Montagna masterfully captures the emotions of the moment - the shock and horror on Indulus's face, the despair and shame on Myrrha's, and the innocence and wonder of the newborn Adonis. The scene is filled with a sense of tension and drama, as the viewer is left to ponder the consequences of Myrrha's actions and the fate of the beautiful child. The Birth of Adonis is a testament to Montagna's skill as a painter and his ability to bring a mythological scene to life in a way that resonates with viewers even today. This print is a valuable addition to any art collection, and a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art or Greek mythology.
