EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases the magnificent artwork titled "Allegory of Dawn, Apollo drives through the sky on his solar car". Painted by Gerard de Lairesse between 1673 and 1677, this masterpiece depicts a breathtaking scene filled with symbolism and mythical figures. In the center of the composition, we witness Apollo, the sun god and embodiment of light, driving his celestial chariot across the sky. His radiant presence illuminates everything in its path as he ushers in a new day. On his right side, female personifications representing Stars or perhaps other celestial bodies flee from his powerful radiance. Conversely, on his left stands an intricately decorated pyramid-like structure that adds to the enigmatic atmosphere. Behind an illusionistic balustrade seen from below are various figures that further enhance this allegorical representation of dawn. The Titan Helius symbolizes Apollo's role as Sol while personifications of Night such as Nox and Notte retreat before him. This grandiose canvas measuring approximately 290 cm high by 730 cm wide is a testament to de Lairesse's artistic prowess. As you gaze upon this awe-inspiring print, allow yourself to be transported into a world where gods reign supreme and myth intertwines with reality. Let it serve as a reminder of humanity's fascination with celestial phenomena and our eternal quest for enlightenment amidst darkness.
