EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Apollo with bow and arrow on celestial globe and Diana with deer" transports us back to the mythical realm of ancient Greece. Created by Jacopo de Barbari in 1503-5, this print showcases the divine siblings Apollo and Diana in all their majestic glory. In this artwork, Apollo stands tall, his muscular figure illuminated by the radiant sun. With a bow in hand and arrows at his side, he symbolizes power and strength as the god of light. Beside him is his twin sister Diana, known as the goddess of the moon. She exudes gracefulness while gently cradling a deer—a representation of her connection to nature. The celestial globe that rests between them serves as a reminder of their heavenly origins. It signifies their roles as gods who govern over both day and night, sun and moon. The intricate details etched into this engraving bring these mythological figures to life— from Apollo's flowing hair to Diana's ethereal presence. As we gaze upon this masterpiece housed in Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum, we are transported into an enchanting world where mythology intertwines with artistry. This work not only captures our imagination but also reminds us of the enduring fascination humans have had with these powerful deities throughout history.
