EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving from 1615, depicting the mythological tale of Narcissus transforming into a flower. Created by Leonard Gaultier, a renowned French engraver of the 17th century, this artwork is part of Les Images Ou Tableaux De Platte Peinture Des Deux Philostrates Sophistes Grecs by Blaise de Vigenare. In Greek mythology, Narcissus was a young man known for his exceptional beauty and arrogance. He fell in love with his own reflection in a pool of water and became so infatuated that he could not tear himself away. Eventually, he wasted away and transformed into the delicate flower that bears his name today. The scene depicted in this engraving takes place at the Temple of the Muses, adding an air of mysticism to the composition. The intricate details and masterful technique employed by Gaultier bring this ancient story to life. With its black-and-white aesthetic, this print captures both the elegance and melancholy inherent in Narcissus' tragic fate. It serves as a reminder of humanity's eternal fascination with transformation and our complex relationship with self-image. Whether you are drawn to Greek mythology or simply appreciate fine artistry, this enchanting print is sure to captivate your imagination and spark contemplation on themes such as beauty, obsession, and mortality.
