EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense and dramatic scene of "Laocoon and his sons being attacked by serpents" within the Chamber of Troy (Sala di Troia) in Palazzo Ducale, Mantua, Italy. Painted by Giulio Romano and his assistants between 1538-1539, this fresco showcases their remarkable talent and mastery of Mannerism. In this mythological depiction, Laocoon, a Trojan priest, along with his two sons are shown writhing in agony as they struggle against the relentless assault of serpents. The anguish on their faces is palpable as they desperately fight for survival. The intricate details bring to life the fear and despair that permeate this tragic moment. The composition skillfully portrays the chaos and turmoil of war through its dynamic arrangement of figures and swirling movement. The Trojan Horse looms ominously in the background, serving as a reminder of deceitful tactics employed during ancient conflicts. Giulio Romano's artistic prowess shines through in every brushstroke, capturing not only the physical pain endured by Laocoon and his sons but also conveying their emotional torment. This masterpiece serves as a testament to Romano's ability to evoke powerful emotions from viewers centuries later. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork captured beautifully by Bridgeman Images' lens, we can't help but be drawn into its narrative - a tale steeped in mythology that continues to resonate with audiences today.
