"Zetus et Amphion qui Dircem ad Tauri cornua crinbus alligatam in fontem proiecerunt [...] Gruesome mythological legend. The twin brothers, sons of Zeus and his lover Antipode, were exposed as babies. Grow up, they were enticed by evil-minded Dirke, to tie Antipode with a rope to a bull, in order to drag her to death. As the twins, unwitting that they were doing this to their mother, were about to perform as the were told by Dirke, Zeus intervened on behalf of his former lover and unveiled the truth to the twins (and to their mother, who did not know the grown twins). Dirke was tied to the bull instead of Antipode and dragged to death. We are looking at the described scene, an anonymous copper etching after a marble sculpture standing in the Palazzo Farnese in Rome.

"Providentia" - Providence. Below title: "Providit ills maximus Mundi Parens, Cum tam rap aces cerneret Fati minas, Ut damna semper sobole repararet nova." Seneca / Hippolytus Copper etching by Domenico Cunego (1724-1803) After the painting by Lodovico Carracci (1555-1619) Printed in Rome, dated 1772 Providentia is the Latin name for providence. Right away Providence, the capital of Rhode Island comes to mind. The founder of the City of Providence, Roger Williams (1603-1683), gave the city of Providence its name after "God's merciful providence". It was exactly this time period, when the city of Providence was founded and named and Carracci painted his "Providentia". And what should be more unifying than the simultaneous happening of these two events!? Needless to say that I believe that this print should find its way to the city archives of Providence, RI. I tried to convince the mayor of Providence, RI of this. But he did not even answer my suggestion. Maybe a city council woman or city council man has better access to such cultural approach of thinking. This large and very well preserved copper etching has a strong even imprint. It has very wide margins and hardly any traces of age and use. There are two little round foxing spots above the image (within the plate mark). The margins, far away from image, are a bit wrinkly. Overall condition is very good. Image including title: 40,5 x 27,5 cm (ca. 16 x 11") Sheet size: 62 x 42 cm (ca. 24 x 16.5") $ 600,00 Order Nr. USAEAST251496 |

Gemmen Pine cone - Cembra nut, mythology - Freemasons - Pinienzapfen No title. No artist or publisher's address. Originally hand-colored copper etching. Framed in elm-wood root On the reverse side it states on a seller's sticker: "From the Mendelssohn-Bartholdy collection". And is it dated "ca. 1825". In spite of great endeavor I was unable to verify these statement, nor did I find any other conclusion regarding this copper etching. Fact is, that the etching has original hand coloring. The plate marks are visible in the frame and that it shows cameos of various sorts and antique subject matters. Most interesting is the centerpiece: A cameo depicting (most likely) a menace holding a Thyrsos staff (also called Bacchus or Dionysos rod), typically decorated with a bow and with cembra nuts on both ends. This staff is usually carried by Menads or Satyrs. The cembra nut is an ancient symbol for various things among which are: Fertility, wealth and carnal lov and widow (background is the many seeds a cembra nut holds). It would carry me too far to go into much detail: Just let me give some hints of the cultures the cembra nut (pine cone) had impact and meaning: Assyrian Babylonian Egyptian Greek, Roman Catholicism Freemasonry Esoteric Popes Paul II., Benedict XVI and Franciscus used and use a ferula with a pine cone. The German City of Augsburg has a pine cone in its city coat of arms. If you google any of these in connection with "Thyrsos", you'll find plenty of information. Print is clean (a tiny water stain on th edge of center piece). Very good condition Measurements: Visible print within frame: 25 x 25 cm (ca. 9.8" square) Frame outside: 33,7 x 33,7 cm (ca. 13.3" square) Width of frame: 4 cm (ca. 1.6")

Mythology - Leda and the swan "Jupiter and Leda" Copper (stipple in most part) etching by Francesco Bartolozzi (1728-1815) figures and Benjamin Charles Comte (landscape). After the painting by F. Viera Printed by McQueen. London, 1814 This is, in brief, the Greek mythological story: Jupiter fell in love with Leda, pretty young daughter of Zhestios and Eurythemis. He approached her disguised as a swan and, lo and behold, impregnated her. But Leda's husband, Tyndareos, mated with her in the same night. As a consequence Leda laid two eggs, two from Jupiter and two from Tyndareos. Jupiter's offspring was immortal, the other two were human, i.e. mortal. This is the most recited mythological story. There are, however, variations told as well. Leda and the Swan has inspired many artists. This is a lovely rendering, we find! Image is in good condition. The margins show traces of age and use.

Painting in Berliner Museum. Print has the typical velvety appearance, which is characteristic for mezzotints. It has wide margins with some stains and minor creasing. These traces of age and use do not pertain to the image itself, however. Image: 35,4 x 46,2 cm (13.9 x 18.2") Sheet size: 50,5 x 63,7 cm (20 x 25") $ 560.00 Order Nr. MYTHOLOGY235074 The Greek mythological story of a ãbeauty contest" was often related by Greek and Roman authors. Homer, Over, Apollodorus and others told it. And artists have rendered their version of this judgement over the centuries.
The story briefly: Zeus held a banquet but did not invite Eris, the goddess of discord. Angered by this snub, she nevertheless showed up and tossed a golden apple into the celebration with the inscription: For the most beautiful! The fight was on, because goddesses Hera, Aphrodite and Athena all claimed the apple. The goddesses thought to be the most beautiful were Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, and each one claimed the apple. They started a quarrel so they asked Zeus to choose one of them. Knowing that choosing any of them would bring him the hatred of the other two, Zeus did not want to take part in the decision. He thus appointed Paris to select the most beautiful. Escorted by Hermes, the three goddesses approached Paris as he herded his cattle on Mount Garagarus. They immediately attempted to bribe him to choose among them - Hera offered ownership of all of Europe and Asia; Athena offered skill in battle, wisdom and the abilities of the greatest warriors; and Aphrodite offered the love of the most beautiful woman on Earth, Helena of Sparta. As if further convincing arguments were needed, Aphrodite then let her robe fall, exposing her nudity. Paris chose Aphrodite&emdash;and Helena. But Helena was already married to King Menelaus of Sparta, so Paris had to raid Menelaus's house to steal Helena from him. (According to some accounts, she fell in love with Paris and left willingly.) The Greeks' expedition to retrieve Helena from Paris in Troy is the mythological basis of the Trojan War. This triggered the war because Helena was famous for her beauty throughout classical Greece. We see Paris as herdsman holding the golden apple in his lap, while watching the three goddesses trying to persuade him in their favor. Mercury is watching out of hidingwhile Eros (Cupid) shoots his inescapable arrow at Paris.
