EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print depicts a pivotal moment in the ancient Greek myth of Daphnis and Chloe. In the image, a kind-hearted goatherd named Lamon discovers an abandoned male infant being nursed by one of his goats in the lush pastures of Lesbos. Moved by compassion, Lamon decides to raise the child as his own, with the help of his wife and the loving goat who had found him. Named Daphnis in honor of the god Dionysus, the child grows up to become a beautiful and innocent young man, beloved by all. As Daphnis matures, he falls in love with Chloe, a shepherdess whose beauty rivals that of the goddess Aphrodite herself. Their love story, filled with trials and tribulations, ultimately ends in a joyful union. This classical scene embodies the themes of innocence, nature, and the power of compassion and love. The image transports us back to a time when life was simple, and the bonds of family and community were strong. The myth of Daphnis and Chloe has been a source of inspiration for countless works of art, literature, and music throughout history. This print, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, is a testament to the enduring power of this ancient tale to captivate and inspire us.
