EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "Boreas Abducting Oreithyia" by Jean-Baptiste-Marie Pierre, a renowned French artist from the 18th century. The artwork, created between 1755 and 1760, is rendered in exquisite red chalk on paper and measures approximately 22.5 x 40.9 cm (8 7/8 x 16 1/8 in. ). In this scene from Greek mythology, Boreas, the god of the north wind, forcefully abducts Oreithyia, a mortal princess who later becomes his wife. Pierre's skillful use of red chalk brings life to every intricate detail of this dramatic moment. The composition captures the intense emotions as Boreas sweeps down upon Oreithyia with powerful gusts of wind billowing around them. Their figures are delicately drawn yet convey a sense of movement and tension that adds depth to their story. Pierre's mastery shines through in his ability to capture both physicality and emotion within this small-scale artwork. The contrast between light and shadow further enhances the drama unfolding before our eyes. This print allows us to appreciate Pierre's artistic brilliance firsthand while preserving its historical significance for generations to come. It serves as a testament to his talent as well as an invitation for viewers to immerse themselves in the mythical world he has brought vividly to life with just red chalk on paper
