EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Minerva visits Envy or Minerva all Grotta deli Invidia" takes us on a journey into the world of mythology and classical art. Created by Luigi Ademollo in 1832, this hand-coloured engraving is an illustration from Ovid's Metamorphoses. In this scene, we witness the powerful goddess Minerva as she ventures into the mysterious Grotta dell'Invidia (Cave of Envy). The artist skillfully captures the essence of this mythological encounter, transporting us to ancient Rome. As Minerva stands amidst the dark cave, her presence exudes strength and wisdom. She gazes intently at her surroundings, undeterred by the menacing snakes that slither around her feet. These serpents symbolize envy and jealousy, representing the challenges faced by mortals in their pursuit of greatness. Ademollo's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his brush. The rich colors bring life to each element within the composition - from Minerva's flowing robes to the intricate textures of the cave walls. This print not only showcases Ademollo's artistic prowess but also serves as a reminder of Ovid's enduring influence on Western literature and art. It invites us to delve deeper into ancient myths and explore their timeless relevance in our modern lives. Displayed proudly in private collections worldwide, this exquisite piece continues to captivate viewers with its evocative depiction of mythological power and human emotions.
