EDITORS COMMENTS

The artwork titled "Hercules Cacus Landscape Water Hole Busy Stealing" showcases the intense moment when Cacus, a fearsome creature, is caught red-handed stealing Hercules' cattle near a serene water hole. The artist, Jacob Jordaens (I), skillfully captures the chaos and tension of the scene. In the foreground, we see Cacus pulling on one of three cows depicted in the image with all his might. His muscular form and determined expression reveal his determination to get away with his ill-gotten loot. But this story goes beyond just Hercules and Cacus. As our eyes wander across the composition, we discover nine other figures scattered throughout the landscape. Each character adds depth and intrigue to this narrative-rich artwork. Jordaens' masterful use of paper engraving brings every detail to life. From Hercules' powerful physique to the lush surroundings surrounding them, each element is meticulously crafted. This print serves as a visual reminder of humanity's fascination with mythological tales that have stood the test of time.
