EDITORS COMMENTS
Empedocle, Dieu suppose. Empedocles, Supposed God, 1929 (engraving) captures a mesmerizing scene that combines artistry and mythology. Created by George Barbier and engraved on wood by Pierre Bouchet, this print is part of the renowned book Vies imaginaries (Imaginary Lives) written by Marcel Schwob. The image portrays three individuals amidst an allegorical setting representing the four elements - air, water, fire, and earth. The central figure is Empedocles himself, a Greek philosopher who believed in the existence of gods and their influence over natural phenomena. He stands as a divine being adorned with a majestic crown. Surrounded by swirling colors and ornate decorations characteristic of the art nouveau movement, Empedocles exudes both power and suffering. His presence evokes the complexities of love as he gazes upon two women beside him – symbols of femininity and beauty. Intriguingly, water cascades from his hands while volcanic eruptions occur beneath his feet. This juxtaposition signifies the duality between creation and destruction inherent in nature's forces. The engraving beautifully captures early twentieth-century aesthetics while delving into philosophical concepts that transcend time. It invites viewers to contemplate humanity's relationship with divinity and our place within the intricate tapestry of existence. Ken Welsh's photograph impeccably preserves this artwork for future generations to appreciate its rich symbolism.
