EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned artwork "Pygmalion Galatea" by Jean-Léon Gérôme, a French painter born in Vesoul in 1824. Created in 1890, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 35 x 27 inches (889 x 686 cm) and beautifully captures the essence of the ancient Greek mythological tale recounted by Ovid in his Metamorphoses. Gérôme's painting depicts the pivotal moment when Pygmalion's sculpture comes to life as Galatea, fulfilling his deepest desires for a wife who is both beautiful and created according to his own vision. The artist skillfully portrays every intricate detail of this transformative scene, showcasing his mastery of sculpted variations and bringing to life the delicate balance between artistry and reality. The presence of Goddess Venus adds an ethereal touch to the composition, symbolizing divine intervention and blessing upon their union. Through Gérôme's brushstrokes, viewers are transported into a world where art transcends its static nature and takes on a vibrant existence. This exceptional print from Artokoloro allows us to appreciate Gérôme's artistic genius up close while immersing ourselves in the timeless allure of classical mythology. It serves as a testament to Gérôme's ability to capture profound emotions within each stroke, leaving an indelible mark on art history.
