EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century engraving, titled "The Prima Macchina for the Chinea of 1739: Mount Parnassus with Apollo, the Muses, and Pegasus," is a beautiful allegory of art and inspiration. Created by the skilled hand of M Sorello, this monochrome print showcases the famous Italian artistic school of the time. Mount Parnassus, a revered geographical feature in Greek mythology, serves as the backdrop for this scene. The sun god Apollo, the patron deity of the arts, graces the peak with his radiant presence. Surrounding him are the nine Muses, goddesses of the arts, sciences, and literature, each represented by their respective symbols. At the foot of the mountain, Pegasus, the mythical winged horse, stands proudly. Pegasus, a symbol of inspiration and creativity, is often depicted as the companion of the Muses. This allegorical representation highlights the interconnectedness of art, inspiration, and the divine. The print, etched by M Sorello, is a tribute to the artistic and cultural heritage of Italy. It is reminiscent of the works of renowned artists such as Michelangelo Specchi and Pierre Ignace Parrocel. The intricate details and masterful shading in this print are a testament to the artist's skill and dedication. This print is a must-have for any art lover or collector, and a perfect addition to any art centre or gallery. It is a reminder of the enduring power of art to inspire and transport us to another world.
