EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning Temple of Apollo, designed by artist Jean Berain for the opera Achille and Polyxene in 1687. The temple's grandeur is evident in its intricate architecture, with a dome that reaches towards the heavens. Set against a serene garden backdrop, this masterpiece transports us to 17th century France. The opera itself tells the tragic tale of Achilles and Polyxena, with libretto by Philippe Quinault. Although Jean-Baptiste Lully composed the overture and first act, he tragically passed away before completing the score. Palladio's influence can be seen in Berain's meticulous set design, which seamlessly blends nature and religion. In this monochrome image, we are transported back in time to witness not only an architectural marvel but also a significant moment in French entertainment history. The rows of trees surrounding the temple add a touch of tranquility to this religious sanctuary. With its stone facade and charcoal-like texture captured through art media techniques, this print exemplifies both artistic mastery and historical significance. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of artists like Jean Berain, Andrea Palladio, Jean-Baptiste Lully, and Philippe Quinault who contributed their talents to create such awe-inspiring works for generations to come.
