Landscape in shades of green and brown. On the right side appears a hybrid figure, child on top and with serpent-like tail and feet, running away from a woman that appears to be throwing water on it from an amphora. Behind them, another woman, older and in a crouching position, seems to want to grab something. The Italian inscription on the back (“Transformazione di Jupiter”) does not match thescene, as it will be seen in the following pieces.It concerns the release of Erichthonius, one of the first mythical kings of Athens. There are several traditions related to his birth. In Ovid’s version (Metamorphoses 2.553-561) it is said to be Vulcanus’ “son of no mother”, the one who would be a legendary king of Athens. In reality, he was born of Vulcanus’ fulminant passion for Athena, as she went to his hell forges to order weapons. While she was running away from the god, he managed to seize her and pour a drop of sperm on her leg, which she shook off to the ground. There the hero was conceived, and that’s why the etymology of his name keeps the Greek term for “earth” (chthôn). Athena, to hide her offspring, enclosed him in a basket, which shehanded to the custody of the daughters of Cecrops. The girls, moved by curiosity, opened the basket; some versions state that they found a child surrounded by two serpents; others affirm that inside the basket was a hybrid being with a serpent tail, as it is common in the beings born from the earth.Ovid, in the referred verses, follows the first version. However, the painter appears to have preferred to illustrate the second one due to its more spectacular nature, a choice rather frequent in the sixteenth and seventeenth century illustrations of the Metamorphoses.

Johann Wilhelm Baur: Life and Legacy

Early Life and Training

Johann Wilhelm Baur, a renowned German painter and engraver, was born on May 31, 1607, in Strasbourg, France. His artistic journey began under the tutelage of Friedrich Brentel, a prominent artist of the time. This foundational training provided Baur with a solid grounding in drawing, composition, and technique.

Italian Sojourn and Artistic Development

Following his initial education, Baur embarked on an extended tour of Italy – a crucial period for his artistic development. He had the distinct privilege of working for esteemed families such as the Farnese, Colonna, and Borghese. This exposure to Italian art and patronage significantly shaped his style and subject matter. During this time, he honed his skills in both painting and etching.

Artistic Contributions and Innovations

Baur is celebrated for his innovative vedute – highly detailed topographical views of cities and landscapes. These works had a lasting impact on German and European art, influencing subsequent generations of artists. He also excelled in miniatures and etchings, demonstrating a remarkable mastery of technique and an exceptional eye for detail. His peers affectionately nicknamed him “Reiger” (heron) likely referencing his meticulous attention to detail.

Key Themes and Notable Works

Baur’s artistic focus centered heavily on mythological scenes, particularly those drawn from Ovid's Metamorphoses. His paintings often depict dramatic moments of transformation and emotional intensity. Some of his most notable works include:

Atalanta and Hippomenes
Venus transforms Adonis’ corpse into a flower
Mercury descends from the heavens for the love of Herse
Erichthonius’ release
Europa’s abduction by Jupiter
Deianeira’s abduction by the centaur Nessos
Latona and the Lycians
Vertumnus seduces Pomona

Influences and Legacy

While Friedrich Brentel was his primary early influence, Baur’s time in Italy exposed him to a wider range of artistic styles and masters. The Baroque aesthetic prevalent in Rome and other Italian cities profoundly impacted his work. His innovative vedute paved the way for later topographical painters, and his detailed miniatures influenced portraiture.

Historical Significance and Passing

Johann Wilhelm Baur passed away in Vienna on January 1, 1642. Despite a relatively short life, he left behind a significant body of work that continues to be admired for its technical skill, dramatic composition, and mythological themes. His contributions remain a cherished part of the region's cultural heritage, particularly within the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Strasbourg (France), which houses an impressive collection of his art.
