EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing artwork titled "Gorgon" which can be found in the esteemed Collection of Galleria nazionale d'arte moderna in Rome, Italy. Created during the Art Nouveau movement, this piece beautifully depicts a legendary figure from Greek mythology - Medusa, one of the three Gorgons. The artist, Adolfo De Carolis (1874-1928), skillfully captures the essence of this mythical creature on pastel cardboard. The delicate strokes and vibrant colors bring forth an ethereal quality to Medusa's visage as she gazes into our souls with her piercing eyes. Her serpentine hair writhes and twists around her head, embodying both beauty and danger. Medusa's presence in art has long been associated with allegory and literature. In Ovid's Metamorphoses, she is portrayed as a once-beautiful maiden who was cursed by Athena for desecrating her temple. This transformation turned her into a fearsome monster whose gaze could turn anyone to stone. As we admire this fine art image, we are reminded of the enduring power that ancient myths hold over our imagination. The intricate details and symbolism within De Carolis' work transport us back to a time when gods and monsters walked among mortals. This print serves as a testament to both artistic mastery and cultural heritage preserved within Galleria nazionale d'arte moderna in Rome - truly a treasure trove for art enthusiasts worldwide
