Painting Description
Cephalus and Procris is an engraving by Magdalena van de Passe, a notable artist from the Dutch Golden Age, known for her detailed and intricate works. This particular piece is part of a larger mythological theme that was popular among artists during this period. The artwork depicts the tragic story from Ovid's Metamorphoses, where Cephalus, a hunter, accidentally kills his wife Procris with his spear, not realizing she was hidden in the bushes. This narrative has been a subject of various artistic interpretations due to its dramatic and emotional content.
Magdalena van de Passe's rendition is particularly remarkable for its fine lines and attention to detail, which convey the intense emotions and the dramatic climax of the story. The composition likely focuses on the moment of tragic recognition, capturing the grief and horror in Cephalus's expression as he discovers the unintended consequence of his action. As an engraving, this work would also demonstrate van de Passe’s skill in handling the burin to create depth and texture, which are essential for depicting the dense foliage of the hunting scene and the intricate details of the figures' attire.
This engraving not only showcases Magdalena van de Passe's mastery of the medium but also reflects the themes of love, betrayal, and tragedy that were prevalent in the art and literature of her time.
