EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Plate 4: Apollo, a stunning statue of the nude god standing on a socle. The ancient Greek deity is depicted wearing a regal crown and holding a scepter in his right hand, while cradling an orb in his left. This exquisite artwork was created by Philip Galle in the 16th century, inspired by Jacques Jonghelinck's Statues of Roman Gods. The image transports us back to ancient Greece and Rome, where gods were revered as powerful beings embodying various aspects of life. Apollo, known as the god of music, poetry, prophecy, and healing among other domains, stands tall with an air of divine grace. His sculpted physique exudes strength and beauty that captivate our imagination. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this engraving preserves the rich heritage of Netherlandish artistry from centuries ago. It serves as a testament to the skillful craftsmanship prevalent during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured by Gallaea Philippo's lens with its striking contrast between light and shadow against the white backdrop; we are reminded of humanity's enduring fascination with mythology and our desire to connect with something greater than ourselves.
