EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we witness the extraordinary tale of "The Birth of Adonis from Myrrha Transformed into a Tree". Painted by Nicolas Poussin in 1650, this masterpiece comes to life on paper through delicate strokes of ink and brush. The scene unfolds with an enchanting tree splitting open, as if giving birth itself. From within its ancient trunk emerges a beautiful baby boy - Adonis. The transformation is nothing short of miraculous, as Myrrha's love for him has transcended even death. As the tree opens up, we see the gentle Naiads surrounding little Adonis, cradling him in their ethereal arms. These water nymphs have taken it upon themselves to care for the newborn child, ensuring his safety and well-being. Poussin's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork. The intricate lines and shading bring depth and dimension to each character and element portrayed. The composition exudes a sense of harmony and balance that draws us deeper into the narrative unfolding before our eyes. This print from Liszt Collection serves as a testament to Poussin's mastery as an artist. It invites us to reflect on themes such as transformation, rebirth, and maternal love - timeless concepts that continue to resonate with audiences today
