EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Virtue: Athena, 1637" by Abraham Bosse takes us back to the 17th century in France. The image showcases a remarkable etching of the Greek goddess Athena, also known as Pallas Athene. As one of the most revered deities in Greek mythology, Athena symbolizes wisdom, courage, and justice. Bosse's meticulous attention to detail brings this ancient concept to life with stunning clarity. The delicate lines and shading emphasize the divine beauty of this female deity. With her piercing gaze and serene expression, Athena exudes strength and grace. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artwork is a testament to Bosse's artistic prowess and his ability to capture religious themes with great finesse. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites viewers into a world where gods walked among mortals. As we contemplate this image, we are transported back in time - an era when people sought guidance from these mythical beings for inspiration and moral virtue. This print not only celebrates the mastery of Abraham Bosse but also pays homage to the enduring power that religion held over society during the seventeenth century. In today's modern world, "Virtue: Athena" continues to captivate audiences with its timeless appeal. It reminds us that virtues such as wisdom and justice are universal concepts that transcend time and culture – qualities worth cherishing even in our contemporary lives.
