EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Jupiter suckled by the goat Amalthea" transports us back to the 16th century. Created by Giulio Bonasone, an Italian artist of that era, this engraving beautifully depicts a scene from Greek mythology. In this artwork, we witness Jupiter, also known as Zeus in Roman mythology, being nurtured by the goat Amalthea. The image showcases a tender moment between foster mother and child as Jupiter feeds from her breast. This portrayal highlights the importance of fostering and nurturing relationships within family life. Bonasone's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. The intricate lines bring out the texture of both Jupiter's flowing robes and Amalthea's fur. Through this art piece, we are reminded of Italy's rich artistic heritage during the Renaissance period. Currently housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this print serves as a testament to Bonasone's talent and skill as an artist. It invites viewers to delve into ancient mythological tales while appreciating the beauty found within religious art. As we gaze upon this remarkable work by Giulio Bonasone, we are transported through time and space – captivated by its symbolism and historical significance.
