EDITORS COMMENTS
Embassies Sent from the Extremities of the Globe" [pl. 15], published in 1752, is an exquisite allegorical print by Jean-Baptiste Masse and Pierre Soubeyran. This masterpiece, a product of the 18th century, showcases a captivating depiction of Amorini, or cherubs, acting as ambassadors from the far reaches of the world. The print, rich in symbolism, is set against an architectural backdrop, with intricately designed columns and arches adorned with floral motifs. The allegorical figures, dressed in antique attire, are crowned and adorned with the symbols of their respective lands. The central figure, a cherubic envoy from the East, holds a fan and a letter, symbolizing diplomacy and communication. The print is a testament to the artistic school of the time, with its black and white, engraved design on laid paper. The use of charcoal grey tones adds to the overall antique and historic feel. The print is a cultural treasure, showcasing the artistic heritage of France and the European artistic tradition. The allegory of the cherubs as emissaries from distant lands is a common theme in 18th century art, reflecting the curiosity and exploration of the world during this period. The print is a must-see for anyone interested in art history, diplomatic history, or simply appreciating the beauty of allegorical figures and architectural motifs. This print is not only a work of art but also a historical document, providing a glimpse into the artistic and cultural sensibilities of the 18th century. It is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage that continues to inspire and influence contemporary art and design. Whether displayed in an art centre or art gallery, this print is sure to be a conversation starter and a source of wonder for all who behold it.
