EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Apollon et Hyacinthe (Apollo and Hyacinth)" captures a poignant moment in Greek mythology. Painted by Alexander Alexeyevich Kiselev in 1884, the oil on canvas artwork depicts the Greek god Apollo leaning over a young man who has been injured during his training in discus throwing. The young man, Hyacinth, is wounded at his temple, and sadness permeates the scene. The painting evokes themes of love, death, and homosexuality as it explores the tragic tale of Apollo's affection for Hyacinth. The nakedness of both figures emphasizes their vulnerability and adds to the emotional intensity portrayed by Kiselev. As part of 19th-century Russian art, this masterpiece showcases Kiselev's skillful use of color to convey depth and emotion. The vibrant hues bring life to the mythological characters while highlighting their significance within ancient Greek culture. Displayed at the Museum of Fine Arts Academy in Saint Petersburg, this artwork exemplifies how myths and religion have influenced artistic expression throughout history. It delves into pagan beliefs and polytheism prevalent during that era.
