EDITORS COMMENTS
Evrito Echione e Etalide Argonote" is a captivating etching on laid paper created by the renowned French artist Balthasar Moncornet. This black and white artwork depicts a scene from Greek mythology featuring Evrito Echione, a man transformed into a bird-man, and Etalide Argonote, who is seated in a boat accompanied by Remigio Cantagallina, another bird-man. The argonauts, legendary sailors known for their journey in the Argo, are often associated with these mythical bird-men. The image exudes an ethereal and otherworldly atmosphere, with the figures seemingly transported from a fantastical realm. The boat, adorned with intricate carousel-like designs, glides effortlessly through the water, adding to the dreamlike quality of the scene. The peacock-like birds, with their vibrant plumage, provide a striking contrast to the monochromatic background. Moncornet's masterful use of etching techniques brings the figures and their surroundings to life, creating a sense of depth and texture. The intricate details in the boat's design, the feathers of the birds, and the ripples in the water all contribute to the artwork's visual richness. This evocative piece is a testament to Moncornet's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of mythological tales. It is a valuable addition to any art collection, particularly those focusing on heritage art, mythology, or the depiction of birds and boats. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to have this work in its collection, allowing the public to appreciate the beauty and intrigue of Moncornet's artistry.
