EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this oil painting by Italian artist Corrado Giaquinto, we are transported to the mythical world of ancient Greece. The scene depicts Medea, a powerful sorceress from Greek mythology, performing an extraordinary act of rejuvenation.

Through her mystical powers and deep understanding of nature's secrets, Medea prepares to sacrifice a lamb to invoke the forces that will restore youth and vitality to Aeson's aged body.
