EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Bernard Picart, titled "Leucothoe seduced by Apollo" takes us back to the enchanting world of Greek mythology. The artwork is a part of Picart's renowned book, The Temple of the Muses, published in 1733. In this illustration, we witness an extraordinary event from antiquity as Leucothoe succumbs to the irresistible charm of Apollo.
