EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil painting, titled "Philitas of Cos instructing Daphnis and Chloe," created by Jules Elie Delaunay around 1875, transports us back to ancient Greece. The circular composition invites us into a serene pastoral setting where the elderly Philitas of Cos, a renowned grammarian, poet, and scholar from the island of Cos, imparts knowledge to the young lovers, Daphnis and Chloe. Naked and unashamed, they sit attentively at his feet, absorbing his instructions on language, literature, and mythology. The elderly Philitas, with his wise and knowing gaze, embodies the essence of an educator and mentor. This beautiful work of art, which showcases the rich heritage of ancient Greek culture, is a testament to the enduring power of knowledge and the importance of education. It is a reminder that the exchange of ideas and wisdom, whether between teacher and student or between generations, is a fundamental aspect of human growth and development. The painting, which is now a cherished part of the collection at the Petit Palais in Paris, is a stunning example of Jules Elie Delaunay's mastery of the oil painting technique. The use of vibrant colors and intricate details bring the scene to life, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the arts, ancient Greece, or the human condition.
