Ila e le ninfe (Hylas and the Nymphs) 1916

Adolfo De Carolis’s 1916 woodcut print, *Ila e le ninfe* (Hylas and the Nymphs), portrays a scene from Greek mythology. In the image, the young hero Hylas is depicted being pulled underwater by the nymph, Ila. This print, with its finely etched lines and use of teal and brown hues, is a captivating representation of the Greek myth, and a great example of the artist’s masterful use of the woodcut technique.
