Arion, 1763-66 - A Captivating Ode to Greek Mythology and Rococo Art
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This mesmerizing print captures the essence of "Arion" a masterpiece created by Augustin de Saint-Aubin and Jacques Jean Pasquier in the 18th century. Inspired by François Boucher's original work, this engraving transports us to a world steeped in mythological allure. The scene unfolds against a backdrop of tumultuous waves and stormy weather, as Arion, a legendary musician from Greek mythology, finds himself shipwrecked. With lightning illuminating the dark sky, he clings desperately to his lyre while surrounded by an otherworldly creature emerging from the depths below. Intricately etched details bring forth every nuance of emotion on Arion's face - fear mingled with determination. The delicate frame adds an air of elegance that befits this rococo masterpiece. As we gaze upon this historic artwork, we are reminded of its significance within French heritage art. It showcases the artistic prowess of both Saint-Aubin and Pasquier while paying homage to Boucher's influence on their craft. This portrayal invites us into a realm where music intertwines with mythology, where human resilience battles against nature's wrath. It serves as a testament to the power of art in capturing timeless stories that transcend generations. Displayed proudly at The Met museum today, "Arion" continues to inspire awe and admiration for its skill
