EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to the 17th century and immersed in the artistic brilliance of Pierre Brebiette. The image showcases his masterpiece, "The Toilet of Thetis" an etching created in 1625 on laid paper. Brebiette's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully captures the scene from Greek mythology where Thetis, a sea nymph and mother of Achilles, prepares for her daily ritual. The composition exudes elegance and grace as Thetis sits upon a rock while attendants assist her with adorning jewelry and draping luxurious fabrics around her. The etching technique employed by Brebiette adds depth and texture to the artwork, enhancing its overall allure. Each delicate line expertly carved into the plate brings life to every element within the scene – from Thetis' flowing hair cascading down her shoulders to the shimmering water surrounding her. As we gaze at this remarkable piece through Quint Lox's lens, we can't help but marvel at both Brebiette's artistic prowess and Lox's ability to capture its essence so vividly. This print serves as a testament not only to their talents but also to our enduring fascination with classical mythology and timeless beauty. Whether displayed in a gallery or cherished within one's personal collection, this photograph invites us into an enchanting world where artistry meets mythological storytelling – a true treasure for any admirer of fine art.
