EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite artwork of "Apollo and Marsyas" painted by Jusepe de Ribera in 1637. The oil on canvas masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Museo di Capodimonte in Naples, Italy. The painting depicts a mythological scene featuring Apollo, the god of music and arts, and Marsyas, a satyr known for his musical talent. In this intense moment frozen in time, Apollo is shown flaying Marsyas alive as punishment for challenging him to a musical contest. Ribera's skillful use of color brings life to this tragic tale from Greek mythology. The vibrant hues create a striking contrast between the heavenly figure of Apollo and the fantastic creature that is Marsyas. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing the agony on Marsyas' face and conveying the power dynamics between these mythic characters. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art through Stefano Baldini's lens, we are transported back to 17th century Italy where legends were brought to life on canvas. This photograph serves as a testament to Ribera's mastery as an artist and allows us to appreciate his contribution to European art history.
