EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Claude Lorrain's masterpiece, "Perseus and the Origin of Coral" created in 1671. The artwork, measuring 25.4x32.5 cm, is housed in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Lorrain's drawing depicts a pivotal moment from Ovid's Metamorphoses: Perseus' journey to an island on his winged steed Pegasus after slaying Medusa. In order to cleanse himself from her curse, Perseus places Medusa's severed head down, causing her blood to transform seaweed into vibrant coral. The composition exudes a sense of classical beauty and tranquility as it captures the stunning coastal scenery with meticulous detail. Lush greenery adorns the landscape while gentle waves caress the shorelines. The artist skillfully employs black chalk, sepia and black ink, sepia and gray wash with white accents to create depth and texture within this baroque-style drawing. Lorrain's work seamlessly blends elements of nature with mythical narratives, showcasing his mastery over both landscape painting and storytelling. This preparatory piece exemplifies his ability to capture ethereal moments through delicate strokes. "Perseus and the Origin of Coral" transports viewers into a world where fantasy intertwines with reality—a testament to Lorrain's artistic brilliance that continues to captivate audiences centuries later.
