EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Meleager, 1655" takes us back to the enchanting world of Greek mythology. Created by the talented artist Michel de Marolles in 17th century France, this exquisite engraving is a true masterpiece found in the collection of Jean Claude Carriere. The image portrays Meleager, a legendary figure from ancient Greek literature and Ovid's Metamorphoses. In this scene, we witness Meleager standing amidst billowing smoke and burning flames. The intense atmosphere evokes a sense of danger and impending transformation. A naked woman stands beside him, representing Atalanta - an important character in Meleager's story. Their presence symbolizes both strength and vulnerability as they confront their destinies together. Marolles' attention to detail shines through in every line of this monochrome artwork. The intricate engravings beautifully capture the emotions and essence of these mythological figures. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported to another time – a time when legends were born and myths came alive through art. This print serves as a testament to the enduring power of storytelling throughout history. With its rich historical significance and artistic brilliance, "Meleager, 1655" is truly an invaluable treasure that reminds us of our shared cultural heritage.
