EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, dating back to 1590 and created by the skilled printmaker Hendrick Goltzius or his workshop, depicts a dramatic scene from Greek mythology. In this artwork titled "Apollo Shoots the Pregnant Coronis Death" we witness a tragic tale unfold. At the center of the image stands Apollo, god of music and archery, aiming his bow at Coronis, who is visibly pregnant. The reason for this violent act becomes clear as we notice a crow flying above them, denouncing Coronis' adultery. It is said that she had betrayed Apollo's love. As Apollo releases his arrow towards her belly, he simultaneously takes action to save the unborn child within her womb. To his left side, an imagined scene portrays the cremation of Coronis after her demise. The intricate details in this engraving showcase Goltzius' mastery in capturing emotions and storytelling through art. Every stroke brings life to each character involved in this tragic mythological event. Displayed within Kupferstich-Kabinett (a museum dedicated to prints and drawings) or perhaps part of Arkheia's collection (an archive specializing in ancient engravings), this old master print serves as a testament to both historical significance and artistic excellence. Artokoloro has preserved this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection with utmost care so that viewers can immerse themselves in its rich narrative and appreciate Goltzius' exceptional craftsmanship.
