EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sapho a Lesbos" takes us back to the enchanting world of legend and mythology. Created by an anonymous French School artist in the 19th century, this vibrant colour lithograph is part of a private collection. The image depicts Sapho, a renowned figure from ancient Greek mythology, who was known for her exceptional beauty and talent as a poetess. In this illustration for "Le Livre D Amour" created around 1890 by Boulanger, we see Sapho dancing with grace and elegance. Her nudity symbolizes both vulnerability and liberation. As she dances, Sapho plays the tambourine with fervor, creating an atmosphere filled with love and passion. The composition exudes sensuality while embracing themes of lesbianism and homosexuality that were often taboo during that era. The artist skillfully captures the essence of female beauty through his portrayal of Sapho's curves and delicate features. This artwork celebrates femininity in all its forms - from mythological legends to contemporary notions of love. With its rich symbolism and artistic finesse, this print invites us to explore the complexities of human relationships while appreciating the timeless allure of feminine allure. It serves as a reminder that art has always been at the forefront when it comes to challenging societal norms and celebrating diversity in all its manifestations.
