EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of a mounted figure of Aspasia on a Louis XV medallier, created in 1771 by the talented artist Andre Charles Boulle. Crafted from gilt bronze, ebony, and brass, this exquisite piece is part of The Devonshire Collections at Chatsworth. Aspasia of Milet, the subject of this artwork, was the consort of Pericles and hailed from ancient Greece. Her beauty and intelligence are beautifully captured in this ornate sculpture. Adorned with an intricate winged helmet and wearing elegant sandals, she exudes grace and sophistication. The neoclassical design elements surrounding Aspasia add to the allure of this piece. A cloud-like backdrop creates an ethereal atmosphere while oval-shaped accents frame her figure perfectly. Classical books symbolize knowledge and wisdom while Mercury's presence signifies communication and commerce. The attention to detail is remarkable as every aspect is meticulously decorated with gold accents. A putto stands beside Aspasia, adding a touch of innocence to the composition. This print not only captures the artistic mastery behind Boulle's work but also serves as a reminder of ancient Greek mythology and its influence on neoclassical art movements. It is truly a stunning representation that celebrates both history and aesthetic beauty.
