EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a stunning design for a glass mosaic titled "Apelles" created by Bernard Collier in 1864. The artwork was intended to be displayed in the Kensington Valhalla at the South Kensington Museum, which is now known as the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. The mosaic depicts Apelles of Kos, an influential Greek painter from the 4th century BC. In this full-length portrait, Apelles holds a picture of Aphrodite, showcasing his mastery of depicting divine beauty. He is also seen with a palette and brushes, symbolizing his artistic talent and dedication to his craft. A Greek vase rests at his feet, representing both his cultural heritage and appreciation for classical art. Edward John Poynter's painting from 1864 served as the inspiration for this etching by Collier. The image beautifully captures Apelles' regal appearance and showcases intricate details such as his clothing and accessories. This artwork provides us with a glimpse into ancient Greece while paying homage to one of its most renowned painters. It serves as a testament to the enduring influence of Apelles' work on subsequent generations of artists throughout history.
