EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print from 1491, we are transported back to the Renaissance era and introduced to the enchanting mermaid, Melusine. The image depicts a moment of discovery as her husband, Raymond of Poitiers, stumbles upon his wife's true form. Melusine's ethereal beauty is evident in her graceful swimming motion and flowing hair that cascades down her nude figure. Her fish-like tail elegantly curves beneath her as she navigates through the water with ease. Raymond, mounted on his horse, gazes at his beloved with a mix of awe and astonishment. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this mythical creature by incorporating intricate details into the woodcut design. The delicate lines bring out every contour of Melusine's body while also highlighting the equestrian elements present in the scene. This artwork not only showcases artistic talent but also serves as a reminder of timeless tales and legends that have captured our imagination for centuries. It invites us to delve into an otherworldly realm where humans coexist with magical beings like Melusine. As we admire this print from Granger Art on Demand, let us appreciate its historical significance and marvel at how art has allowed us to preserve stories that continue to captivate audiences even after hundreds of years.
