EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning illustration from the 1787 edition of "Les Amours pastorales de Daphnis et Chloe" by Longus. The artwork, created by Philippe d'Orleans (1674-1723), depicts a scene where Daphnis bravely repulses Gnathon. The intricate details and delicate lines of the engraving bring to life this ancient Greek tale of love and pastoral romance. Set against a backdrop of lush trees in the idyllic countryside, the illustration transports us back to a time when Greece was at its peak. In this particular moment captured on paper, we witness an intense opposition between two characters - Daphnis and Gnathon. Their emotions are palpable as they engage in a struggle that goes beyond physicality; it is also symbolic of conflicting desires and ideologies. As we delve into the layers of meaning within this artwork, we cannot overlook its historical significance. Created during the 18th century, it reflects not only French literature but also echoes themes prevalent during antiquity. Moreover, this image invites contemplation on topics such as love, homosexuality, and societal norms – issues that have persisted throughout history and continue to shape our understanding today. Overall, through this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, we are transported into an enchanting world where art intertwines with literature to evoke profound emotions and spark intellectual discourse.
