EDITORS COMMENTS
**"A Moment of Gratitude: Jason and Medea in the Temple of Jupiter (1745)"**
In this exquisite oil on canvas painting, French artist Jean François de Troy masterfully captures a poignant moment between Jason and Medea within the grandeur of ancient Greece's temple dedicated to Jupiter. The year is 1745, during France's Rococo era when art was characterized by its lighthearted and ornate style.
As they arrive at the altar, Jason - hero of Greek mythology - presents a sacrificial offering to the gods alongside his beloved Medea, sorceress from Colchis. The couple is surrounded by an atmosphere of reverence and gratitude as they offer their thanks for past blessings. A majestic bull adorns the temple's interior, symbolizing strength and fertility.
De Troy's brushstrokes bring forth a sense of intimacy and devotion between Jason and Medea, while his use of color creates a warm glow that envelops the scene. This stunning work is part of Jean François de Troy's impressive oeuvre, which includes numerous portraits and mythological scenes inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses.
Today, this print can be found in the esteemed Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza collection, a testament to the enduring power of art to transport us through time and space. Let Jean François de Troy's masterpiece guide you on a journey back to 18th-century France, where beauty and mythology converge in perfect harmony.
