EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting artwork titled "Clytia Turned into a Turnesole, 1731". Created by the talented artist Bernard Picart (1673-1733), this engraving is a part of The Stapleton Collection and currently resides in a private collection. The image depicts an exquisite scene filled with elements from classical mythology. In the foreground, we witness Clytia's mesmerizing transformation into a sunflower, symbolizing her unrequited love for Apollo. Cupid can be seen riding in a chariot pulled by horses, adding to the mythical ambiance of the composition. Picart's attention to detail is evident as he masterfully captures every nuance of this metamorphosis. The landscape surrounding Clytia and her divine counterparts exudes tranquility and beauty. This piece not only pays homage to Ovid's mythological tale but also explores themes such as nudity and vulnerability. The nude figure of Clytie represents her emotional nakedness as she longs for Apollo's affection. Overall, this stunning engraving transports viewers to another world where gods interact with mortals through breathtaking transformations. It serves as a testament to Picart's artistic prowess and his ability to bring ancient myths vividly to life on paper.
