EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century engraving of Echo, from Michel de Marolles' 'Tableaux du temple des muses,' transports us back in time to the world of Greek mythology. The intricate details and delicate lines of the engraving showcase the skill and artistry of the unknown engraver who brought this mythological figure to life.
Echo, a nymph cursed by Hera to only be able to repeat the last words spoken to her, is depicted here with a sense of melancholy and longing in her eyes. The flowing drapery and ethereal quality of her form capture the essence of a being forever trapped in silence.
Michel de Marolles, known as the abbe de Marolles, was not only a churchman but also a talented translator who brought classical works to life for his contemporaries. His inclusion of Echo in his collection speaks to the enduring fascination with Greek mythology during this period.
As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the power of art to transcend time and space, allowing us to connect with stories and figures from centuries past. Echo's haunting presence lingers in our minds, inviting us to ponder themes of communication, identity, and fate that continue to resonate today.
