EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Veronese's masterpiece, "Hermes, Herse and Aglauros" a stunning oil on canvas painting created between 1576-84. The artwork measures an impressive 232.4x173 cm and is housed in the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge in the UK. The scene depicted in this painting revolves around three central figures from Greek mythology: Hermes, Herse, and Aglauros. Hermes, known as the messenger of the gods, stands tall with his iconic caduceus wand held firmly in hand. His presence exudes power and grace as he interacts with the two sisters. Herse and Aglauros are mesmerized by Hermes' enchanting charm as they witness his divine transformation unfold before their eyes. This moment captures a pivotal event from Ovid's Metamorphoses when Hermes uses his magical powers to change himself into a bird-like creature called Petasus. Veronese masterfully brings this mythological tale to life through vibrant colors and intricate details that captivate viewers' imaginations. The composition highlights each character's unique personality while showcasing Veronese's exceptional skill as a painter. As you gaze upon this remarkable photo print, let yourself be transported back to ancient Greece where myths intertwine with reality, reminding us of humanity's eternal fascination with tales of gods and mortals alike.
