EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil painting, titled "Diana and Endymion" transports viewers to a world of mythological romance. Created by the talented Jean-Honore Fragonard between 1753 and 1756, this masterpiece measures an impressive 94.9x136.8 cm and is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. The painting depicts Diana, the goddess of the moon, falling deeply in love with Endymion, a young shepherd who lies peacefully asleep inside a cave. In her affectionate gesture to keep him eternally slumbering, she tenderly kisses his closed eyes. This act symbolizes her desire for their love to last forever. Fragonard's work beautifully captures the essence of Rococo art with its delicate brushstrokes and soft color palette. The scene exudes an air of romanticism as it combines elements from both Greek and Roman mythology. In addition to Diana and Endymion themselves, other symbolic figures can be found within the composition: Cupid representing love; sheep symbolizing innocence; a loyal dog guarding their secret rendezvous spot; and a crescent moon illuminating their passionate connection. This enchanting piece invites us into a realm where mortal boundaries are transcended by immortal love. It serves as a reminder that true devotion knows no bounds – not even time itself.
