EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning illustration from the 1787 edition of "Les Amours pastorales de Daphnis et Chloe" a renowned work by Longus, an ancient Greek writer from the 2nd or 3rd century. The drawing, created by Philippe d'Orleans (1674-1723), depicts a fierce combat scene known as "Combat pour Daphnis". In this remarkable artwork, we are transported to ancient Greece, where warriors engage in an intense battle. The clash of weapons and the tension in their faces convey the intensity of this confrontation. The artist's skillful use of lines and shading brings life to each figure on the page. The engraving captures not only the physicality of warfare but also hints at deeper themes explored in Longus' pastoral romance. It is through these battles that characters like Daphnis and Chloe navigate their love story amidst adversity. As we admire this piece, we are reminded of France's rich literary history and its fascination with antiquity. This illustration serves as a testament to both artistic talent and historical significance.
