EDITORS COMMENTS
Bernard Picart's Oval: A Glimpse into the Mythical and Religious World of a Prolific French Artist Bernard Picart (1673-1733), a renowned French artist and engraver, left an indelible mark on the art world with his extensive body of work, particularly in the realm of mythical and religious subjects. This exquisite oval print, a testament to Picart's mastery of the engraving technique, showcases his profound understanding of history and its mythological and religious underpinnings. The central figure in this composition is an angel, his curly wig cascading down his shoulders, and his eyes filled with compassion as he weeps over a cherub. The cherub, with its chubby cheeks and innocent expression, gazes up at the angel with a sense of wonder and awe. Surrounding them are various books, symbolizing the vast knowledge and wisdom that the angel imparts to the cherub. Picart's intricate engraving technique is evident in the delicate lines and shading that bring the figures and the books to life. The artist's skillful use of contrast and perspective adds depth and dimension to the image, transporting the viewer into a world of myth and religion. With hundreds of prints to his name, Picart's oeuvre continues to captivate and inspire art lovers and scholars alike. His ability to convey the essence of mythical and religious stories through his engravings has left a lasting impact on the art world, making him a prolific and influential figure in the history of art.
