EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the timeless beauty of a bronze sculpted group located in the parterre d'Eau, nestled within the majestic park of Versailles. Created by the renowned artist Charles Le Brun, this exquisite artwork depicts a Nymph and Cupid in an enchanting embrace. The sculpture exudes an air of elegance and grace, showcasing Le Brun's mastery in capturing human form. The Nymph stands tall with her flowing hair cascading down her back, adorned with a delicate wreath or garland. Her body is depicted with remarkable detail, highlighting the natural curves and contours that make her figure so alluring. Beside her stands Cupid, a minor divinity from Greco-Roman mythology often associated with love and desire. With his wings spread wide open behind him, he gazes affectionately at the Nymph as if caught in a moment of eternal adoration. The composition evokes both Baroque and Renaissance influences through its intricate details and harmonious lines. It serves as a testament to Europe's rich artistic heritage during these periods. Captured by Alinari Fratelli in 1908, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only Le Brun's masterpiece but also the skillful craftsmanship involved in casting it into bronze over two centuries prior. The juxtaposition between ancient artistry and modern photography creates an intriguing dialogue between past and present. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to another time – one where mythological beings come alive before our eyes amidst the grandeur of Versailles' gardens. It reminds us of humanity's enduring fascination with beauty, mythology, divinity, and love throughout history.
