EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Perseus rescuing Andromeda" transports us to the 17th century with its intricate engravings and monochromatic beauty. Created by the talented artist Leonard Gaultier, this piece is a plate from Les Images Ou Tableaux De Platte Peinture Des Deux Philostrates Sophistes Grecs, a renowned work by Blaise de Vigenere. The scene depicted in this engraving draws inspiration from Greek mythology, showcasing Perseus as he heroically saves Andromeda from her perilous fate. Tied up on a rocky island, Andromeda's vulnerability is palpable as she awaits her monstrous captor. Perseus, donning his winged sandals and armed with determination, swoops down to rescue her. Gaultier's attention to detail shines through in every stroke of his artistry. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the composition while emphasizing the heroic nature of Perseus' mission. The absence of color allows us to focus solely on the emotions conveyed by each character - fear in Andromeda's eyes and unwavering bravery in Perseus' stance. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the timeless metaphor it represents - that true heroism lies not only in physical strength but also in selflessness and compassion towards others. This masterpiece serves as a testament to Gaultier's skillful craftsmanship and enduring legacy within art history.
