EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate artwork titled "Studies Angels recto Panthea Cyrus verso 1655-1660" by Michel Dorigny. The French artist, born in 1617 and passing away in 1665, created this masterpiece using black chalk heightened with white chalk on a sheet measuring 20 x 25.7 cm. On the recto side of the artwork, we are presented with a mesmerizing depiction of angelic figures. Dorigny's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully captures their ethereal beauty and grace through delicate strokes of chalk. Each angel seems to come alive on the paper, radiating serenity and celestial energy. Flipping over to the verso side reveals an intriguing scene that may depict Panthea before Cyrus, although there is some ambiguity surrounding its interpretation. This enigmatic composition adds another layer of intrigue to Dorigny's work, inviting viewers to ponder its meaning and unravel its hidden messages. The contrast between black and white chalk creates a striking visual effect that enhances the depth and dimensionality of each figure portrayed. Through his masterful technique, Dorigny manages to convey both strength and vulnerability within these heavenly beings. As part of Liszt Collection's curated selection, this print allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate Dorigny's genius from the comfort of their own homes or galleries.
