EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Olympus" takes us on a journey into the realm of Greek mythology. Created by Blaise de Vigenère in 1615, this engraving showcases the exquisite talent of Leonard Gaultier. The plate is part of Les Images ou Tableaux de Platte Peinture des Deux Philostrates Sophistes Grecs, an iconic collection that has stood the test of time. In this scene, we find ourselves immersed in a picturesque landscape where Olympus, home to the gods and goddesses, unfolds before our eyes. A serene pond glistens under the golden sunlight as lush greenery surrounds it. Amidst this idyllic setting stands a male figure playing a flute with utmost grace and skill. The melodic tunes emanating from his instrument seem to harmonize with nature itself, creating an enchanting atmosphere that transports us back to ancient Greece. As we gaze at this mesmerizing artwork, we can almost hear the music echoing through the air and feel its soothing effect on our souls. Through this print, Vigenère and Gaultier invite us to explore not only the beauty of Greek mythology but also its profound connection with art and music. It serves as a reminder that these timeless tales continue to inspire artists across centuries. Displayed proudly at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this masterpiece captures both mythological allure and artistic brilliance. Its presence evokes awe and admiration for those who appreciate fine art steeped in history
