EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Charles Le Brun's masterpiece, "Cybele or Reawakening of Earth". Created in 1663, this pen and brown ink drawing on beige paper showcases the artist's exceptional talent and attention to detail. The central focus of the artwork is Cybele, a powerful goddess symbolizing fertility and abundance. She stands majestically in her chariot, accompanied by two magnificent lions. The composition exudes a sense of harmony between nature and humanity. Surrounding Cybele are playful putti or cherubs engaging in music and dance. One cherub plays a horn while another taps a tambourine, creating an enchanting melody that fills the air. Their joyful presence adds an element of whimsy to the scene. Le Brun's meticulous study for Apollo Gallery in the Louvre comes alive through this striking photograph taken by Adolphe Giraudon around 1898-99. The image perfectly captures every stroke of ink, showcasing Le Brun's mastery as he brings together various elements seamlessly. Displayed at the Louvre (Cabinet de dessins) in Paris, France, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty. It serves as a testament to Le Brun's skillful craftsmanship and his ability to depict mythological themes with grace and elegance. This photograph from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate every intricate detail within Le Brun's work – from the flowing drapery adorning Cybele to each delicate
