EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the vibrant celebrations of the 17th century. Created by artist Leonard Gaultier, this engraving depicts a scene from Greek mythology, where Pelops and Hippodamia's love story intertwines with the exhilarating world of chariot racing. In this detailed illustration, we witness Pelops triumphantly leading his chariot pulled by magnificent horses along the seaside. The god Poseidon watches over them from the sea, bestowing his blessings upon their race. Cherubs adorn the skies above, celebrating their victory with laurel wreaths in hand. Gaultier's artistry beautifully captures both the rustic charm of rural life and the grandeur of ancient mythology. The monochrome palette adds depth to every line and contour, enhancing our perception of movement as these powerful creatures surge forward towards glory. This print not only showcases Gaultier's mastery but also serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with competition and triumph throughout history. It invites us to delve into ancient tales while appreciating art as an eternal medium for storytelling. Preserved in Jean Claude Carriere's collection, "Pelops and Hippodamia" remains an enduring testament to human creativity across centuries. Its intricate details transport us beyond time itself, allowing us to immerse ourselves in a world where gods mingle with mortals on roads paved with ambition and passion for victory.
