The Invention of the Art of Drawing

EDITORS COMMENTS
by Joseph Benoit Suvee is a captivating oil on canvas painting that transports viewers back to ancient times. The artwork, housed in the Groeningemuseum in Bruges, Belgium, depicts a significant moment in art history. In this mesmerizing piece, Suvee masterfully portrays the classical myth of the invention of drawing. The central figure is Dibutades, daughter of the potter Butades. She stands silhouetted against a wall in her father's workshop, delicately tracing her beloved's shadow with a pencil. This act allows her to keep his presence alive even when he is physically absent. The artist skillfully captures the essence of love and longing through this allegorical portrait. Dibutades' devotion and creativity are beautifully showcased as she pioneers an entirely new form of artistic expression – drawing. Suvee's use of light and shadows adds depth and dimension to the composition, emphasizing both the emotional intensity and historical significance behind this mythological event. Through his brushstrokes, he brings to life not only Dibutades but also her lover and their shared passion for art. "The Invention of the Art of Drawing" serves as a powerful reminder that art has always been deeply intertwined with human emotions and experiences throughout history. It celebrates both individual creativity and our collective desire to capture moments that transcend time itself.
