EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning sculpture of "Phryne" created by Georges Petit in 1903. The artwork is a photogravure reproduction of an exquisite ivory sculpture crafted by Emile Philippe Scailliet, dating back to the late 19th or early 20th century. The subject of this alluring piece is Phryne, a renowned courtesan who lived during Ancient Greece around 371 BC. Standing in full length, her naked form exudes grace and sensuality, capturing the essence of feminine beauty. The delicate details of the sculpture are beautifully preserved through this photo mechanical process. Originally featured in "La Revue De L'Art Ancien et Moderne". Volume XIV from July-December 1903, this print transports us to a time when art nouveau was flourishing. It represents a convergence of literature and visual arts, as it graces the pages of this esteemed publication. Georges Petit's galleries were well-known for their promotion and exhibition of fine artworks during that era. This particular photograph serves as a testament to his appreciation for exceptional craftsmanship and artistic expression. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, we can appreciate both its historical significance and timeless allure. It reminds us that art has always been a medium through which humanity explores beauty, desire, and our connection with the past.
