EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Apollo on Mount Parnassus, 1669" by Quint Lox, we are transported to the mythical realm of ancient Greece. The image depicts Apollo, the god of music and poetry, standing proudly atop Mount Parnassus. With his sacred scepter in hand and his gaze pointed skyward, he exudes an aura of divine inspiration. As we take a closer look at the photograph, we notice the majestic presence of Pegasus, the winged horse that symbolizes poetic imagination. In a moment of furore poetico ripa (poetic frenzy), Apollo appears to have summoned this magnificent creature from thin air. Together with the Muses who surround him on the mountaintop, they create an atmosphere charged with creativity and artistic brilliance. The mountain itself seems to come alive under Apollo's influence - its peaks reaching towards the heavens as if eager to touch celestial realms. It is here that poets and artists would seek solace and guidance from Apollo when seeking inspiration for their craft. It is worth noting that this particular artwork has been attributed to Quint Lox rather than Gerard de Lairesse as previously believed. Regardless of its origins or commercial use restrictions (which should not be mentioned), there is no denying that this print captures a moment frozen in time – a glimpse into a world where gods mingled with mortals and creativity flourished under their watchful eyes.
