Le Stryge, 1853 - A Sinister Gargoyle Watches Over Paris
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases Charles Meryon's haunting etching, "Le Stryge" which depicts an eerie and monstrous creature perched atop a tower in the heart of medieval Paris. The oval-shaped artwork measures 17.2x12.9 cm and is housed in the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto. With its gothic architecture and intricate detail, this piece transports viewers to a bygone era where crows soar above the cityscape and rooftops stretch as far as the eye can see. The gargoyle's piercing gaze gives off an unsettling vibe, almost as if it were watching over the town with a vampiric presence. Meryon's engraving captures both the beauty and strangeness of French ecclesiastical structures like Notre Dame Cathedral. Its bird's-eye view perspective allows us to appreciate every architectural nuance while immersing ourselves in a fictional world filled with fantastic creatures. The dark ambiance evoked by "Le Stryge" invites contemplation about our own mortality and supernatural folklore that has fascinated generations throughout history. This mesmerizing image serves as a reminder of how art can transport us to different times and places, stirring our imagination along the way. As we admire this panoramic bird's-eye view of Paris from centuries past, let us marvel at Meryon's skillful portrayal of this monstrous character amidst a backdrop that blends reality with fiction seamlessly.
