EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable plaque depicting Saturn, the Roman god of agriculture and time, from the Chateau de Madrid in Neuilly. Created by Pierre I Courteys around 1559, this painted enamel masterpiece measures an impressive 165x100 cm and is currently housed at the Musee National de la Renaissance in Ecouen, France. The plaque portrays Saturn devouring one of his children, capturing a dark and mythical moment from ancient mythology. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, as he masterfully depicts the malevolent titan with his distinctive staff and imposing stature. With its oval shape and rich colors characteristic of Limousin enamels, this Renaissance artwork exudes both power and beauty. It serves as a testament to the artistic talent prevalent during that era. As you gaze upon this photo print, let yourself be transported back in time to witness the grandeur of French art history. Marvel at how Courteys skillfully brings forth the complex emotions associated with Saturn's mythological tale – fear, sorrow, and perhaps even empathy for those consumed by time itself. Whether you appreciate classical mythology or simply admire exquisite craftsmanship, this print offers a glimpse into an extraordinary piece of art that continues to captivate viewers centuries after its creation.
