EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Pygmalion series, we witness a moment of profound connection between Pygmalion and his creation, Galatea. Emmanuel Jean Nepomucene de Ghendt masterfully captures the essence of their dialogue in this engraving dating back to 1748-1815. Galatea, the living statue brought to life by Pygmalion's love and devotion, gracefully perches on a column. Her ethereal beauty is juxtaposed against Pygmalion's presence beside her. With an air of curiosity and tenderness, he leans towards her and engages in an intimate conversation. The print serves as part of a larger series that delves into the timeless story of Pygmalion - a sculptor who falls deeply in love with his own creation. Through intricate details etched onto paper measuring 150 mm wide and 229 mm high, Ghendt transports us to Paris during this era. This particular piece encapsulates the power of conversation as it explores themes such as desire, transformation, and human connection. As viewers gaze upon this enchanting scene, they are invited to ponder the complexities inherent in relationships between creator and creation.
