EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Bernard Picart, titled "Clythie (Clytie)" takes us back to the enchanting world of Greek mythology. The image is a part of Picart's renowned book, "The Temple of the Muses" which beautifully depicts significant events from antiquity. Clythie, a water nymph and daughter of Oceanus and Tethys, is the central figure in this illustration. In Greek mythology, Clythie was deeply in love with Tithonus, but her affections were not reciprocated. As we gaze at this print, we can almost feel her longing and yearning for her suitor. The artist skillfully captures Clythie's emotions through his intricate engravings. Surrounded by allegorical elements and symbols such as Eos (the goddess of dawn) and Aurora (the Roman goddess of sunrise), Clythie stands as an embodiment of imagination and inspiration. Her story serves as a reminder that unrequited love can fuel creativity and artistic expression. Picart's attention to detail is evident in every stroke on this print. From the delicate features on Clythie's face to the grandeur of the temple behind her, each element adds depth to the narrative depicted here. As we admire this 18th-century masterpiece from Bridgeman Images' collection, it transports us into a realm where myth intertwines with reality—a testament to both ancient tales and timeless artistry that continues to captivate audiences today.
