EDITORS COMMENTS
by Francois de Nome is a captivating print that transports viewers into the depths of Greek mythology. In this mesmerizing artwork, we witness the powerful King and Queen of the Underworld, Pluto and Persephone, as they survey their dark kingdom. The artist skillfully portrays the eerie atmosphere of Hell with his masterful use of color and shading. The cavernous caves in the background create a sense of depth and mystery, while tormenting souls can be seen in various stages of suffering. It is through these intricate details that de Nome brings to life the religious beliefs and cultural significance associated with this mythical realm. As our eyes are drawn towards Pluto and Persephone on the left side of the composition, we cannot help but feel their regal presence. Dressed in royal attire, they exude power and authority over their domain. Their expressions suggest both solemnity and command as they oversee their subjects. This 17th-century masterpiece not only showcases de Nome's artistic prowess but also serves as a testament to France's fascination with Greek mythology during this period. Through this print, viewers are transported to an otherworldly realm where gods reign supreme and mortals face eternal consequences for their actions. Francois de Nome's "The Underworld" remains an enduring symbol of artistry merging with mythology - a timeless piece that continues to captivate audiences centuries after its creation.
