EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Pelops Wins Hippodamia, 1615" transports us back to the rich tapestry of Greek mythology in the 17th century. Created by Leonard Gaultier as part of Blaise de Vigenare's renowned work "Les Images Ou Tableaux De Platte Peinture Des Deux Philostrates Sophistes Grecs" this print captures a pivotal moment in the ancient tale. In this scene, Pelops emerges victorious, having won the hand of his beloved Hippodamia through a daring chariot race. The intensity and triumph are palpable as Pelops stands tall amidst a crowd of onlookers, basking in his hard-earned victory. Gaultier's masterful engraving technique brings every intricate detail to life - from the flowing robes to the determined expressions on each character's face. The historical significance of this artwork lies not only in its portrayal of Greek mythology but also in its representation of 17th-century artistic style. Gaultier skillfully combines classical themes with contemporary techniques, showcasing his mastery as an artist during this period. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are transported into a world where gods and mortals intertwine; where love is won through fierce competition and courage prevails over adversity. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these timeless tales continue to captivate our imagination and inspire awe for both their artistic beauty and enduring narratives.
