EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Stefano della Bella, titled "Frontispiece for The Works of Scarron" transports us to the 17th century French literary world. At the center of the composition sits Monsieur Scarron, a renowned poet, depicted from behind in a chair. Surrounding him are women representing caricatures of the nine muses, symbolizing various artistic disciplines. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he includes mythological figures such as Pan, Bacchus (the Roman god of wine), and Pegasus (the winged horse) atop a representation of Mt. Helicon - home to the Muses in Greek mythology. These mythical creatures add an air of whimsy and enchantment to the scene. Della Bella's etching skillfully captures both the essence of satire and religious undertones prevalent in Scarron's works. Through this frontispiece, we catch a glimpse into France's rich literary heritage during this period. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artwork showcases Della Bella's mastery in creating intricate compositions that blend classical mythology with contemporary themes. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to each figure while emphasizing their importance within the narrative. As we admire this print, we are transported back in time - invited to explore not only Scarron's poetry but also delve into an era where art seamlessly intertwined with literature and mythology held great significance.
