EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning study for one of the exquisite tapestries created at the renowned Gobelins tapestry factory in France. The artwork, originally crafted by Pierre Mignard, depicts a scene from summer that is both intriguing and rich in symbolism. In this intricate pen and ink drawing on paper, we are transported to an ancient ritual taking place amidst the lush surroundings of Galerie de Saint-Cloud. The image captures various elements such as a slaughter, corn bundle, offering, pagan rite, wild boar, and sacrifice. These elements hint at the deep-rooted traditions and customs associated with summer festivities. The attention to detail in this piece is truly remarkable; every stroke of Mignard's hand brings life to each figure and object portrayed. From the flowing robes of those participating in the ritual to the majestic presence of a wild boar ready for sacrifice - it all comes together harmoniously. Peter Willi's expert photography perfectly captures not only the intricacies of Mignard's work but also its vibrant colors and textures. This print allows us to appreciate this masterpiece up close while preserving its historical significance. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork captured through Peter Willi's lens, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and bring us closer to understanding our cultural heritage.
