EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Satyr family, on the move" takes us back to the 18th century. Created by the talented Swiss artist Salomon Gessner, this etching showcases a mythical scene filled with wonder and intrigue. In this enchanting artwork, we witness a Satyr family traversing through a rugged country landscape. The Satyrs, half-beast and half-man creatures from Greek mythology, are depicted as a father carrying his young daughter on his back. They emerge from a dark cave into the light of day, symbolizing their journey towards new adventures. Gessner's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his etching technique. The intricate lines bring life to each character's expression and movement. The contrasting shades of black and white add depth and mystery to the composition. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are transported to an era where mythological tales intertwined with daily life. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and the enduring power of storytelling. Displayed in museums around the world like The Met Museum, this artwork continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty. Salomon Gessner's "Satyr family, on the move" invites us to embrace our imagination while appreciating art that transcends time itself.
