EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite set design for Jean-Baptiste Lully's renowned opera, Atys. Painted in oil on canvas by an anonymous French artist from the 17th century, this masterpiece is housed in the Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France. The elaborate stage design transports us to a mythical world where tragedy and drama unfold. The scene depicts a heavenly garden adorned with lush greenery and intricate grottos. In the center, we witness Time himself wielding his scythe as he presides over the unfolding events. Mercury, also known as Hermes in Greek mythology, stands tall amidst billowing clouds. With his winged sandals and caduceus staff held high, he symbolizes swiftness and communication between gods and mortals. Horses gallop through the ethereal landscape while classical figures of gods observe from above. The attention to detail is awe-inspiring; every brushstroke brings life to this theatrical spectacle. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back to a time when grandeur reigned supreme on stage. It serves as a testament to the artistic brilliance of Jean-Baptiste Lully's era and reminds us of the enduring power of classical art forms like opera.
