EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Soldiers spring from the Serpents teeth or Cadmo getta I denti del serpente e nascono Guerrieri" transports us to a world of ancient mythology and epic battles. Created by Luigi Ademollo in 1832, this hand-coloured engraving is based on Ovid's Metamorphoses. In this scene, we witness the extraordinary transformation as soldiers emerge from the fearsome jaws of a serpent. The mythical figure Cadmus stands at the center, bravely casting the serpent's teeth into the ground. As if by magic, fully armed warriors sprout forth from where each tooth lands. The illustration captures both the awe-inspiring power and danger inherent in Greek mythology. The soldiers are depicted with intricate armor and shields raised high, ready to face any adversary that comes their way. Their expressions reflect determination and readiness for battle. Ademollo's attention to detail brings this mythological tale to life. From every scale on the serpent's body to each individual warrior emerging from its teeth, no element is overlooked. The vibrant colors used in hand-coloring enhance our visual experience and add depth to this dramatic moment. This print not only showcases Ademollo's artistic talent but also serves as a testament to Ovid's enduring influence on art throughout history. It reminds us of humanity's fascination with myths and legends that continue to captivate our imagination even centuries later.
