Painting Description
"Ms Gen 1496 Plate CXX Rape of Europa by Pietro Santi Bartoli" is an engraving by the Italian artist and engraver Pietro Santi Bartoli (1635–1700), depicting the mythological abduction of Europa by Zeus, who had taken the form of a bull. This work is part of a series of engravings that illustrate scenes from classical antiquity, which was a common theme in the art of the period. Bartoli was known for his detailed reproductions of ancient Roman paintings, sculptures, and other artworks, and his engravings served as a valuable record of many artworks that have since been lost or damaged.
The "Rape of Europa" is a myth that has been a popular subject in art for centuries, and Bartoli's interpretation would have been informed by the artistic and cultural context of the Baroque period in Italy. His work is characterized by meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to faithfully capturing the essence of the original artworks he was reproducing. The plate is part of a larger collection, identified as "Ms Gen 1496," which suggests it may be housed within a specific library or archive collection, and the "CXX" denotes its sequence within the series.
As an engraver, Bartoli contributed to the dissemination of classical themes in art and influenced the way such subjects were perceived by contemporary and later audiences. His engravings not only served as artworks in their own right but also as educational tools that allowed a wider public to access the visual culture of ancient Rome. The "Rape of Europa" by Bartoli would be of interest to scholars of Baroque art, historians of engraving, and those studying the reception of classical mythology in early modern Europe.
