EDITORS COMMENTS
Apollo, c1591" is a captivating engraving by the renowned Dutch artist Jacob Matham, created in the 1590s. This masterpiece showcases the god Apollo, the ancient Greek deity of the sun, music, poetry, and prophecy, in all his divine glory. Apollo is depicted standing on one leg, his outstretched arm reaching upwards, as if in adoration or supplication to the heavens. His other arm is raised, holding a lyre, a symbol of his role as the god of music. His powerful, muscular body is etched with intricate detail, revealing the vitality and strength of this mythological figure. The contrast between the white and black in this monochrome print adds depth and dimension to the image, enhancing the sense of drama and intensity. Apollo's intense gaze, fixed on a point above, conveys a deep sense of contemplation or perhaps even longing. This engraving is a testament to the enduring power of Greek mythology and the artistic heritage of the Low Countries in the sixteenth century. It is a reminder of the rich cultural traditions that have shaped our collective history and continue to inspire and captivate us today. This rare and beautiful work of art is now part of the permanent collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is preserved for future generations to appreciate and study. The image of Apollo, with his outstretched arms and intense gaze, continues to evoke a sense of awe and wonder, reminding us of the power and beauty of the ancient gods and the enduring legacy of the arts.
