EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing "Figure of Medusa" from a renowned collection of engravings, etchings, and woodcuts. Created by the Italian School in the 15th century and reproduced in lithographic form by Richard Fisher in 1879, this artwork is a true testament to the timeless allure of Medusa. The image depicts Medusa as an enchanting female figure with her iconic attribute - a head full of writhing snakes. The artist skillfully captures her ethereal beauty while emphasizing her fearsome nature. Rendered in intricate detail, each serpent seems to come alive on the paper, adding an element of both fascination and dread. This particular print is a facsimile taken from Opus de claris scelestique plurimis mulieribus (Work on Famous and Wicked Women) by Father Giacomo Filippo Foresti of Bergamo (1434-1520). It serves as a testament to the enduring influence that Medusa has had throughout history. With its roots firmly planted in Renaissance artistry, this piece evokes both admiration for its technical prowess and intrigue for its mythical subject matter. Whether displayed within a private collection or showcased publicly, this striking image invites viewers into a world where ancient legends intertwine with artistic mastery.
