EDITORS COMMENTS
This xilography print, titled "Representation of the Pythia of Delphi" takes us back to ancient Greece and its rich mythology. Created by Hartmann Schedel in 1497, this piece is a part of his renowned work "Liber chronicarum". The Pythia, a mythological character associated with clairvoyance and prophecy, is beautifully depicted in this engraving. The Pythia was the high priestess at the Temple of Apollo in Delphi and served as the oracle through which the god communicated with mortals. In this artwork, she exudes an aura of mystery and wisdom. Her gaze is intense yet serene, hinting at her ability to see beyond what meets the eye. Schedel's attention to detail brings life to this representation. The intricate lines and shading create depth while capturing every fold in her flowing garments. The use of color adds vibrancy to an otherwise black-and-white scene from antiquity. As we admire this print, we are transported back to a time when people sought answers from divine sources. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, humans have always been fascinated by predictions and seeking guidance for their future endeavors. Giancarlo Costa has preserved this remarkable piece within his private collection for all art enthusiasts to appreciate today. Through his efforts, we can continue marveling at ancient Greek mythology and its enduring influence on our culture.
