EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures the essence of Francois Le Moyne's masterpiece, "Pygmalion seeing his animated statue". Painted in 1729, this monumental artwork stands at an impressive size of 2.12 x 1.68 meters and is housed in the Musee des Beaux Arts in Tours, France. Le Moyne skillfully portrays the legendary scene from Greek mythology where Pygmalion, a talented sculptor, witnesses his creation come to life. The painting beautifully depicts Pygmalion's astonishment and awe as he gazes upon the animated statue before him. With intricate brushwork and delicate attention to detail, Le Moyne brings to life the emotions felt by both Pygmalion and his enchanting sculpture. The artist masterfully captures their expressions of love, wonderment, and disbelief. This piece exemplifies French artistry at its finest during the 18th century. It showcases not only Le Moyne's technical skills but also his ability to convey complex narratives through visual storytelling. As we admire this remarkable photograph taken by Josse for Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness this extraordinary moment unfold within Le Moyne's studio. It serves as a reminder of the power that art holds – how it can breathe life into our imagination and evoke profound emotions within us all.
