Aurōra is the Latin word for dawn, and is known as the goddess of dawn in Roman mythology and Latin poetry.
When I visited Egidio Martini Picture Gallery at the museum of the 18th century in Venice Italy, Ca’ Rezzonico // Museo del Settecento, I saw the painting entitled L’Aurora abbandona Titone by Italian painter Antonio Balestra (Verona, 1666-1740) and was inspired by the color palette and the physicality of the figures against the softness and lightness of the goddess’s skin and clothing. Aurora’s floral headdress is a stunning detail, along with the curls on the cherub below, and their ivory feather wings contrasted with their striking dark, piercing eyes. Interestingly, the god’s face is covered, as well as his left arm, perhaps indicating shame at his aging appearance compared to his lover’s youth.
In another rendition of the myth, housed in the Getty Collection, the scene is explained as such:
In Greek legend, Eos, or Aurora, the goddess of dawn, falls in love with the mortal Tithonus, son of King Laomedon of Troy. According to the Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite, Aurora prevailed on Jupiter to grant the young human immortality, though later realized that she failed to stipulate his eternal youth in this request. To her horror, as their love affair continues, the once beautiful Tithonus begins to show signs of age. [The artist] illustrates a moment later in the narrative, where, preparing to leave for earth to bring about the dawn, Aurora sits on a cloud while an angel crowns her with a wreath of flowers. She looms dominantly over her aged lover, who shields his eyes from the goddess’s brightness. The goddess, pained by Tithonus’ withering appearance and failing body, eventually decided to put him out of his misery and turned him into a grasshopper, to be reminded of him whenever she heard the insect’s song.
Whatever the case may be, true love knows no number.
