EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th century print, titled "The Goatherd Lamon Handing the Infant Daphnis to His Wife Myrtille," is a beautiful depiction of a scene from Greek mythology, as rendered by the skilled hand of Ambroise Dubois. Dubois, a French artist active during the 1600s, masterfully captured the tenderness and warmth of the moment as Lamon, the goatherd, hands his newborn son, Daphnis, to his wife Myrtille. The black and white image, created using pen and brown ink and brush and brown ink wash with black chalk brush and gray wash and opaque white watercolor on pieced cream laid paper, showcases the artist's exceptional skill in creating texture and depth. The goats in the background, with their alert and curious expressions, add to the pastoral setting and further emphasize the idyllic nature of the scene. This print, a testament to the rich heritage of European art, is a must-see for any art lover or student of history, and is currently housed in the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago.
