EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Apollon couronnant les arts (Apollo Crowning the Arts)", artist Jean Jacques Lagrenee transports us to 18th century France, where Apollo, the Greek god of music and poetry, bestows his laurel wreath upon the arts. The image is part of a larger collection called Recueil de Compositions par Lagrenee Le Jeune (Collection of Compositions by Lagrenee the Younger) from 1784. The scene unfolds in a panoramic letterbox format, showcasing three individuals - two women and one man - who represent various artistic disciplines. Apollo himself stands tall in all his divine glory, naked except for a flowing cloth around his waist. With an outstretched arm holding a lyre, he symbolizes the power of music. As Apollo crowns each individual with a laurel wreath, we witness their transformation into muses under his divine influence. The intricate etching technique used by Lagrenee adds depth and texture to every detail within the composition. This artwork not only captures the essence of rococo style prevalent during that era but also pays homage to classical mythology as an integral part of French heritage art. Through this print, Lagrenee invites us to contemplate the profound connection between creativity and spirituality while celebrating the timeless beauty found within artistic expression. Displayed at The Met museum today, this piece continues to inspire viewers with its evocative portrayal of Apollo's role as both deity and patron saint of artists throughout history.
