EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Comus, 1615" transports us back to the enchanting world of Greek mythology. Created by the talented artist Leonard Gaultier, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of Comus, the god of festivity and revelry. In this scene, we witness a young man on the verge of unconsciousness from his indulgence in drink. Adorned with a wreath of flowers atop his head and clutching a torch, he epitomizes nocturnal dalliance. The banquet hall depicted in this engraving is filled with women and men engaged in lively festivities. Holding hands and dancing together, they revel in the joyous atmosphere created by Comus' presence. The room exudes an air of merriment as people lean into each other while enjoying food and drink. Gaultier's intricate illustration brings to life Thomas De Leu's poem about Comus, adding depth to its literary significance. The monochrome aesthetic enhances the timeless quality of this seventeenth-century piece. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded of the power that art possesses to transport us across centuries and immerse us in mythical realms. It serves as a testament to Gaultier's skill as an artist and our enduring fascination with ancient mythologies.
