EDITORS COMMENTS
Chants sur l'eau" (Songs on the Water), painted by Jean Francis Auburtin in 1912, is a captivating work of art that transports us to the mystical realm of Greek mythology. Auburtin masterfully captures the essence of the natural world and its mythological inhabitants, inviting us to ponder the connection between the two. The painting depicts a serene landscape overlooking a tranquil body of water. The reflection on the surface reveals the ethereal figures of various Greek goddesses and nymphs. Among them, we can distinguish the goddesses Aphrodite, Athena, and Persephone, as well as the maenads and naiads. Auburtin's brushstrokes bring these mythological beings to life, their nude forms gracefully interacting with the water and the lush vegetation that surrounds them. In the foreground, a siren, with her enchanting voice and hypnotic gaze, lures sailors to their doom. Her presence adds an element of danger and intrigue to the otherwise idyllic scene. The symbolism of the painting is rich and layered, inviting viewers to explore the depths of Greek mythology and the natural world. Auburtin's use of oil on canvas allows for a luminous and almost dreamlike quality, further emphasizing the otherworldly nature of the painting. The Petit Palais, Musee des Beaux-Arts de la Ville de Paris is fortunate to have this masterpiece in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and mystery of Greek mythology through Auburtin's artistic vision. This painting is a testament to Auburtin's skill as a painter and his deep connection to the natural world and the mythological tales that have shaped human culture for centuries. Chants sur l'eau is a must-see for anyone with an appreciation for allegory, literature, and the fine arts.
