EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Leopold Burthe's exquisite painting titled "Portrait of the Greek poet Sapho (Sappho) playing the lyre". Created in 1849, this masterpiece measures 1.06x0.69 meters and is housed in the Musee des Beaux Arts in Carcassonne, France. The painting depicts a young woman, believed to be Sappho, an ancient Greek poetess known for her lyrical poetry. She is elegantly portrayed with a crown of leaves adorning her head, symbolizing her connection to nature and inspiration. Holding a lyre, a musical instrument associated with poetry and music in ancient Greece, she exudes grace and creativity. Burthe's attention to detail brings out the beauty of this portrait as he captures every nuance of expression on Sappho's face. The soft brushstrokes add depth and texture to her flowing garments while highlighting her delicate features. This artwork not only celebrates the talent of Leopold Burthe but also pays homage to one of history's most influential poets. It serves as a reminder of Sappho's significant contributions to literature and music during ancient times. As we gaze upon this enchanting image captured by Photo Josse, we are transported back in time to witness the brilliance and artistry that defined both Sappho's work and Burthe's skillful interpretation.
