EDITORS COMMENTS
The Sculpture of Pygmalion: A Timeless Tale of Love and Artistry This print showcases the legendary sculpture of Pygmalion, immortalized in an engraving by Bernard Picart. Taken from his renowned book, The Temple of the Muses, this illustration beautifully captures remarkable events from antiquity. Pygmalion, a skilled sculptor hailing from Cyprus, became infatuated with a statue he had meticulously carved. Ovid's narrative poem Metamorphoses tells us that Pygmalion's love for his creation was so profound that it transformed into reality. This enchanting tale has since become an enduring symbol of artistic inspiration and the power of imagination. Picart's masterful engraving brings this mythic story to life with intricate details and allegorical elements. The sculpture itself is a testament to the artist's skill and creativity during the 18th century. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness Pygmalion's metamorphosis unfold before our eyes. It serves as a reminder that art has the ability to transcend boundaries and evoke deep emotions within us all. Bridgeman Images' fine art collection allows us to appreciate timeless masterpieces like this one, reminding us of humanity's enduring fascination with mythology, love, and the boundless possibilities found within works of art.
