Just like Irene Dunne and Cary Grant in Leo McCarey's classic film "The Awful Truth" (1937), this captivating collection takes you on a nostalgic journey. From the glamorous era of "White Tie & Tails 1913, " where opulence reigned supreme, to Moise sauve des eaux, an engraving that depicts a heroic rescue from treacherous waters, each piece tells its own unique story. Imagine attending The Wedding of Commissioner Railton of the Salvation Army at Exeter Hall through an intricate engraving or witnessing Francesco I d'Este fearlessly crossing the Po River with sword in hand against formidable troops. These historical moments come alive within these artworks. Plate 12 transports us to Atalanta led by Diana, a symbol of strength and femininity intertwined. Meanwhile, Plate 10 showcases Agamemnon and Menelaus seated in a boat surrounded by other mythical figures – a scene filled with intrigue and mystery. In Plate 9, we witness Argonauts Hicleus and Naucleus being guided on Neptune's float – their quest for adventure immortalized forever. And as Peleo et Talamone Argonauti condotti da Tetide grace Plate 7, we are reminded of the power that lies within unity. Polyphemus and Palemonius find themselves under Ceres' guidance in Plate 8 – an ode to resilience amidst adversity. Finally, Orpheus is led by Bacchus himself in Plate 18 - a testament to the transformative power of art and music. "Sauve" captures these mesmerizing tales through stunning visuals that transport us across time and space. It invites us to appreciate history's grandeur while celebrating human triumphs depicted through artistry.
