EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Letter P" by Pierre Aubry, dates back to the 17th century. Aubry, a renowned artist of the time, masterfully created this intricate work on paper using the engraving technique. The image showcases a close-up view of a decorative door knocker in the shape of a mythological creature, specifically a griffin or gryphon. The mythical beast is a popular symbol of strength and power in mythology, often depicted as having the body, tail, and back legs of a lion; the head and wings of an eagle; and sometimes an eagle's talons as its front feet. The griffin's head is masked with a stylized letter P, adding an element of mystery and intrigue to the design. The creature's piercing gaze and open mouth, as if in a state of dismay, create a sense of tension and anticipation. The griffin's body is adorned with intricate scrollwork and ornate patterns, further emphasizing the beauty and artistry of the piece. The door knocker is framed by two men, one on each side, each wearing masks and holding a staff. Their expressions suggest a sense of awe and reverence towards the mythical beast. The overall design exudes an air of elegance and sophistication, making it a stunning addition to any collection of prints and drawings from the Renaissance period. This image, with its intricate details and thoughtful composition, is a testament to Aubry's skill as an engraver and his deep understanding of mythology and ornamental design.
