EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork "Pelops" created by Leonard Gaultier in 1615. Inspired by Greek mythology, this illustration depicts Pelops, the son of Tantalus and Dione. The image is taken from Les Images Ou Tableaux De Platte Peinture Des Deux Philostrates Sophistes Grecs, a collection compiled by Blaise de Vigenere in Paris during the same year. In this engraving, Pelops can be seen standing near the sea, gesturing with one hand while holding a sword in the other. He stands proudly as if preparing for battle or chariot racing. The rural seaside setting adds to the rustic charm of the scene. The artist skillfully captures Pelops' nakedness and muscular physique, emphasizing his strength and warrior-like qualities. Winged creatures surround him, symbolizing his divine connections as a deity's descendant. Leonard Gaultier's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this monochrome masterpiece. From the intricate engravings on Pelops' weaponry to his intense gaze and confident poseidon gesture, each element contributes to an overall sense of power and religious significance. This seventeenth-century artwork transports viewers back in time to an era filled with mythological tales and epic battles. It serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with gods, heroes, and ancient civilizations that continue to captivate our imagination today.
