Love Instructed By Mercury, 18th century
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the enchanting world of 18th-century France. Created by Pierre Francois Basan, this masterpiece showcases his exceptional talent in capturing the essence of allegorical figures. In this mesmerizing scene, we witness an angelic cherub representing Love being guided by the winged figure of Mercury, the god of communication and travel. The cherub's innocent gaze reveals a thirst for knowledge as he eagerly absorbs the wisdom imparted by his celestial mentor. Surrounded by lush foliage and perched on a tree branch, these divine beings engage in an educational exchange that transcends time and space. Their nudity symbolizes purity while emphasizing their otherworldly nature. Basan's intricate engravings beautifully depict every detail - from the delicate feathers on Mercury's wings to the cherub's chubby cheeks brimming with curiosity. The artist masterfully captures their gracefulness through flowing drapery that adorns their bodies. This stunning artwork invites us to contemplate themes such as love, education, and spirituality. It serves as a reminder that even celestial beings require guidance in matters of heart and mind. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this exquisite print stands as a testament to Basan's artistic prowess and continues to inspire viewers with its timeless beauty.
