EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Neptune with Amymone, daughter of Danaus, whom he prevents being assaulted by a satyr" transports viewers to a mythical realm filled with wonder and intrigue. Created in 1615 by Leonard Gaultier as part of the book Les Images Ou Tableaux De Platte Peinture Des Deux Philostrates Sophistes Grecs, this print captures a pivotal moment in Greek mythology. The scene depicts Neptune, the god of the sea, coming to the rescue of Amymone, daughter of Danaus. As she is about to be assaulted by a satyr - a creature known for its wild and lustful nature - Neptune intervenes with his powerful presence. The image showcases Gaultier's remarkable skill in capturing movement and emotion through intricate engravings. The composition exudes an air of tension as Neptune confronts the satyr while protecting Amymone. The delicate lines and shading bring depth to each character's expression and posture. Through this artwork, Gaultier invites us into an ancient world where gods interacted with mortals and mythical creatures roamed freely. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a visual representation of classical tales that have captivated audiences for centuries. It reminds us of the enduring power that art possesses in preserving stories from our past while also inspiring our imagination for generations to come.
