EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Apollo, god of music and dance, and his attributes" transports us back to the 19th century with its exquisite detail and rich symbolism. Created by Richard Dagley in 1822, this print showcases various aspects of Apollo's divine persona. At the center of the image is a fragment of Apollo's face, radiating an otherworldly beauty. Surrounding him are his sacred attributes: a lyre held delicately by Apollo Musicus from Stoschs collection, a bow representing his mastery over archery from Marlborough Collection cameo, a bust adorned with a laurel wreath engraved on hyacinth symbolizing victory and poetic inspiration, and an antique lyre carved on cornelian evoking ancient musical traditions. Apollo himself was revered as the god of music and dance in Greek mythology. This depiction highlights his role as both creator and performer of harmonious melodies that enchanted gods and mortals alike. The intricate copperplate engraving captures every minute detail with precision. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the enduring power of mythological figures like Apollo who continue to inspire awe through their divine presence. Through this print, Dagley invites us to immerse ourselves in the realm of antiquity while celebrating Apollo's influence on music and dance throughout history.
