EDITORS COMMENTS
Abraham Bloemaert's enchanting pen drawing in black wash in brown on paper, titled "Faun playing flute sleeping shepherd (Merkurius o Argus)," is a captivating work of art that transports viewers to a mythological realm. This allegorical masterpiece, created by the Dutch artist in the late 16th century, is a testament to the artistic school's rich heritage in agriculture, allegory, and mythology. The central figure of the drawing is a faun, a half-human, half-animal creature from ancient mythology, who is depicted in a peaceful slumber. The faun's serene expression and relaxed posture convey a sense of tranquility and contentment. In his hand, he holds a flute, which he plays gently, its melody lulling the shepherd, who lies beside him, into a deep sleep. The shepherd, dressed in traditional attire, represents the simple pleasures of rural life and the connection between man and nature. The allegorical significance of the drawing lies in the identity of the faun. In Roman mythology, Mercury, the god of commerce, agriculture, and the arts, was often depicted as a faun playing music. Mercury was also known as Argus Pan, a protector of shepherds and flocks. The drawing thus represents the harmony between the natural world, the arts, and the divine. Bloemaert's masterful use of monochrome color and pen drawing techniques adds depth and texture to the image, bringing the mythological figures to life. This rare and exquisite sketch is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, mythology, or the artistic school of the late Renaissance. It is currently housed in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
