EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an Ancient Etruscan chimera, a mesmerizing creature depicted in all its mythical glory. Created by Corsi in the 19th century, this handcoloured copperplate engraving is a true work of art that transports us back to the ancient world. The chimera itself is a winged marine demon with fish tail limbs, exuding both power and grace as it torments a man and woman caught in its clutches. Alongside the chimera stands Scylla, an infernal winged mermaid armed with giant hooks. These two geni infernali embody the depths of hellish mythology, their presence evoking both awe and fear. This illustration from Giulio Ferrario's renowned book "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World" beautifully captures these fantastical creatures within their historical context. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring life to this scene from ancient times, allowing us to delve into a world where myth meets reality.
