EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Largia" and created by the renowned Flemish engraver Philip Galle in 1587, is a stunning representation of ancient Greek mythology. The image is part of Galle's series on Nymphs, specifically plate sixteen. In Greek mythology, Largia was a nymph associated with water and childbirth. She is depicted here with a large, flowing pitcher, symbolizing her role as a water nymph and giver of life. The black and white, or monochrome, print showcases the intricate details of Galle's masterful engraving technique. The woman in the image is depicted with flowing hair and a graceful, ethereal appearance, embodying the beauty and mystery of Greek mythology. This print, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a testament to the enduring legacy of Greek mythology and the artistic prowess of Philip Galle in the sixteenth century.
