The Seven Boys
EDITORS COMMENTS
, an Allegory of the Pleiades, is a captivating engraving that transports us to the realm of Greek mythology. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures the essence of this celestial tale. In Greek mythology, the Pleiades were seven sisters who were transformed into stars by Zeus to escape from Orion's pursuit. This allegorical representation showcases "The Seven Boys" each embodying one of these mythical sisters. Their ethereal beauty and grace are depicted through delicate lines and intricate details. As we gaze upon this enchanting artwork, we are drawn into a world where gods and mortals intertwine. The boys' youthful features reflect their immortal nature while their positioning creates a sense of unity among them. They appear as if frozen in time, forever shining brightly in the night sky. This engraving originally appeared as an illustration for The Graphic on December 26th, 1885 - a testament to its enduring popularity even during Victorian times. Now part of a private collection, it continues to captivate viewers with its timeless allure. "The Seven Boys", an Allegory of the Pleiades invites us to contemplate our place within the vastness of the universe and reminds us that even in mythological tales lies profound wisdom about human existence.
