EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Hero crowned by Victory, who places a laurel wreath on his head, Venus and Cupid at left, Envy in the background" transports us to the enchanting world of Greek mythology. Created by Charles Hutin in the 18th century, this piece showcases his artistic prowess and attention to detail. At the center of the composition stands our hero, adorned with armor and a crown of laurels bestowed upon him by Victory herself. The allegorical figure of Venus is depicted alongside her mischievous son Cupid on the left side of the image. Their presence adds an element of divine intervention to this heroic scene. Intriguingly placed in the background is Envy, lurking amidst shadows as if attempting to undermine our hero's triumph. This subtle inclusion reminds us that even heroes are not immune to envy's destructive power. Silenus lies beneath our hero's foot on the ground, symbolizing victory over obstacles and challenges faced along his journey. The meticulous engravings bring out every intricate detail with precision. Charles Hutin masterfully captures both male and female figures in their nakedness - a nod towards classical art conventions while also emphasizing themes of vulnerability and strength inherent within humanity. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in Netherlands today, this artwork serves as a testament to Peter Paul Rubens' influence on Hutin's style. It invites viewers into a realm where mythological deities intertwine with mortal heroes - an enduring reminder that heroism transcends time and place.
