EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of mythical intrigue and forbidden love. In this scene from the engraving "Pan appears at Brixia ordering him not to take Chloe" we are transported back to 1757, immersed in the enchanting world created by novelist Longus. Under the soft glow of moonlight, Pan, the half-man half-goat god of nature, materializes before Brixia. Bathed in natural light and surrounded by darkness, these two men find themselves on a boat amidst a vast expanse of water. The tranquil nocturnal setting adds an air of mystery and secrecy to their encounter. Chloe, whose presence is implied but unseen in this image, becomes the object of contention between these mythological figures. As Pan sternly orders Brixia not to take Chloe away from him, tension fills the frame. The intricate borders designed by Fokke add an elegant touch to this engraved masterpiece. Created by Benoit Audran after Philippe d'Orleans' original work, every detail is meticulously etched into existence. Transported back to the mid-eighteenth century through this print's timeless beauty and artistic craftsmanship, we are reminded of humanity's fascination with mythology and our eternal quest for love against all odds. This piece serves as a testament to both literature's power to captivate our imagination and art's ability to immortalize fleeting moments in time.
