EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print takes us back to the 8th century, offering a glimpse into the mystical world of ancient times. The French School's depiction of a mystical fountain is nothing short of enchanting. In this image, we see a group of wild animals gathered around the fountain, creating an ethereal scene that sparks our imagination. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; every stroke and shade brings life to each animal portrayed. Birds soar gracefully above, storks stand tall and elegant, while deer and stags roam freely nearby. Swans glide across the water with grace and poise. This harmonious gathering evokes a sense of tranquility and wonder. The concept behind this piece revolves around the idea of eternal youth - the legendary Fountain of Youth. It transports us to medieval times when such mythical tales were woven into everyday life. As we gaze at this 8th-century depiction, we can almost feel ourselves being transported through time. Mathieu's intricate drawing combined with Hangard Mauge's lithography skills has resulted in a chromolithograph that exudes exceptional quality. This print was originally created as an illustration for "Les Arts Somptuaires" specifically for "Histoire du Costume et de l'Amueublement" by Hangard-Mauge in 1858. Intriguing and timeless, this artwork from Bridgeman Images invites us to explore history through artistry—a window into another era where fountains held mystical powers and animals
