EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Statue of Endymion, Greek shepherd" by Francois-Anne David. The statue, depicted in this copperplate engraving from 1787, is a testament to classical art and Roman mythology. Endymion, a beloved figure in ancient Greek folklore, was a shepherd who caught the eye of the moon goddess Selene. This sculpture beautifully captures his serene and youthful visage, reflecting his eternal slumber as he rests on a rock. Francois-Anne David meticulously drew and engraved this illustration based on Roman statues found in the Museum de Florence and the cabinet of curiosities belonging to the Grand Duke of Tuscany. His attention to detail brings out every intricate feature of this remarkable piece. The line engraving technique used here adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its artistic appeal. It allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of Endymion's form but also the skillful craftsmanship that went into creating this masterpiece.
