EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Italian earthenware plate, adorned with a mesmerizing depiction of the mythological tale of Artemis and Actaeon. The plate, part of the esteemed collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum, transports us to ancient Italy where rural life intertwines with divine intervention. In this enchanting scene captured on black background in a studio shot, we witness Artemis, the goddess of hunting and wilderness, transforming Actaeon into a majestic stag. The vibrant colors on the earthenware dish bring this mythical moment to life as Artemis stands tall in her nakedness, emanating power and grace. The artist's skillful rendering evokes both awe and intrigue as we contemplate the consequences that befall Actaeon for daring to intrude upon Artemis' sacred space. This artifact serves as a testament to Italy's rich cultural heritage and its deep-rooted connection to mythology. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from CM Dixon's Museum of Ornamental Art collection at the Victoria Albert Museum, it is impossible not to marvel at how art can transcend time. It reminds us of our eternal fascination with gods and goddesses who shape our beliefs and inspire our imagination.
