EDITORS COMMENTS
The Regatta: Under a sky where Naides pour rain with watering cans, and where the winds blow the storm, jousters of the regatta of the Seine advance, their wooden spears resting on the thigh. In this artwork by Gabriel de Saint-Aubin, we are transported to a mythical world where nature's elements collide in a spectacular display. The scene unfolds beneath an ominous sky as Naides - mythological water nymphs - shower rain upon the earth using watering cans. The winds howl and gust, adding to the tempestuous atmosphere. Amidst this chaos, brave jousters from the regatta of the Seine emerge, their wooden spears poised for battle. Intriguingly juxtaposed against this tumultuous backdrop is a carriage parked next to an anchor. Symbolic of stability amidst turmoil or perhaps hinting at hidden narratives within this fantastical realm? The interpretation is left open to our imagination. This exquisite drawing showcases Saint-Aubin's masterful technique combining chalk, pen & ink, washes, watercolor and gouache on paper. It captures not only his artistic prowess but also his ability to evoke emotion through vivid storytelling. As we gaze upon this artwork from centuries past, it serves as a reminder that even in times of storms and uncertainty there is beauty to be found. A testament to human resilience and our eternal fascination with mythology intertwined with everyday life.
