EDITORS COMMENTS
This 16th-century engraving titled "Apollo Parnassus" takes us on a journey to the mythical Mount Parnassus, where Apollo, the Greek god of music and poetry, reigns supreme. The print showcases the artistic brilliance of French engraver Etienne Delaune, who skillfully captures the essence of this divine scene. In this image, we witness Apollo surrounded by nine Muses as they gather on the slopes of Parnassus. With his lyre in hand and laurel wreath adorning his head, Apollo exudes an aura of celestial beauty and grace. His presence commands attention while inspiring creativity among those fortunate enough to witness this divine gathering. The intricate details in this print are a testament to Delaune's mastery as an artist. Every stroke brings life to each figure present – from their flowing garments to their expressive faces filled with awe and admiration for their patron deity. Originally created by Italian painter Nicolo dell'Abbate during his time at Fontainebleau under King Francis I's patronage, Delaune's interpretation breathes new life into this iconic scene. Through his artistry, he pays homage to both Italian Renaissance aesthetics and French artistic traditions. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time – immersed in a world where gods walked among mortals and inspiration flowed freely. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, art continues to connect us
