EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Apollo and Daphne" transports viewers back to ancient Greece, where mythological tales were born. Created by the talented artist Jean-Etienne Liotard in the 18th century, this piece beautifully captures a pivotal moment in Greek mythology. The scene depicts Apollo, the god of music and poetry, pursuing Daphne, a nymph who has been cursed by her father to turn into a laurel tree if she is ever caught. The intensity of their emotions is palpable as Apollo reaches out towards Daphne while she desperately tries to escape his grasp. Liotard's skillful etching and engraving techniques bring life to this historic tale. The intricate details showcase the artist's mastery in capturing movement and emotion through his drawings. Each stroke adds depth and texture to the figures, enhancing their mythical presence. Displayed at an art centre or gallery exhibition, this print serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage. It invites us to delve into Greek mythology—a world filled with gods and goddesses—and explore themes of love, nature, and transformation that continue to resonate today. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork by Jean-Etienne Liotard, we are transported not only through time but also into the realm of imagination where ancient stories come alive once more.
