EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting mythological tale of Selene and Endymion, with a touch of Cupid's intervention. The painting by Gerard de Lairesse, created in 1680, showcases the artist's mastery in depicting celestial beauty. In this scene, we witness Cupid holding a burning torch as he directs Selene (also known as Diana) towards the peacefully sleeping Endymion. Behind the moon goddess, clouds part to reveal the radiant moon shining its ethereal light upon them. Luna herself pays a visit to the slumbering Endymion, adding an extra layer of mystique to this narrative. The story unfolds against the backdrop of Soestdijk Palace, providing an opulent setting for this romantic encounter. It is said that Maria II Stuart, Queen of England, Scotland and Ireland during that time period was particularly fond of this piece. De Lairesse's use of oil paint on canvas brings out every intricate detail and texture in his composition. The dimensions of 177 cm height and 118.5 cm width allow viewers to immerse themselves fully into this mythical world. This remarkable artwork from Liszt Collection not only showcases artistic brilliance but also invites us to delve into ancient tales where love intertwines with divine forces under the watchful gaze of celestial beings like Selene and Cupid.
