"Latona, Die Bauern In Frosche Verwandelnd" is an exquisite engraving by the renowned Dutch artist Magdalena van de Passe, who was active during the early 17th century. Born into the illustrious Van de Passe family of engravers, Magdalena was one of the few prominent female artists of her time, contributing significantly to the art of engraving alongside her father, Crispijn van de Passe the Elder, and her siblings.

The engraving depicts a scene from Ovid's "Metamorphoses," a classical text that has inspired countless works of art throughout history. In this particular narrative, the goddess Latona (known as Leto in Greek mythology) is shown transforming the Lycian peasants into frogs. According to the myth, Latona, while wandering with her children Apollo and Artemis, sought to drink from a pond in Lycia. The local peasants, however, refused her access to the water and, in their insolence, muddied the pond. In response, Latona cursed them, transforming them into frogs as punishment for their disrespect.

Magdalena van de Passe's interpretation of this myth is notable for its intricate detail and masterful technique. The engraving captures the dramatic moment of transformation with a keen eye for both human and amphibian forms, showcasing her exceptional skill in rendering textures and expressions. The composition is dynamic, with Latona centrally positioned, exuding divine authority, while the peasants, caught mid-transformation, exhibit a range of emotions from shock to despair.

This work not only highlights Magdalena's technical prowess but also her ability to convey complex narratives through visual art. It stands as a testament to her place within the Van de Passe family's artistic legacy and the broader context of Dutch Golden Age engraving. "Latona, Die Bauern In Frosche Verwandelnd" remains a significant piece for its artistic merit and its reflection of the rich mythological themes that permeated the art and literature of the period.
