EDITORS COMMENTS
Amphion, 1615. Artist: Leonard Gaultier This print takes us back to the 17th century, immersing us in the mythical world of Amphion and Zethus. In Greek mythology, these twin sons of Zeus played a crucial role in constructing the city walls of Thebes. The engraving showcases a scene set outside the walled city, where we find Amphion sitting on a stone wall, clad in elegant robes. With his violin resting on his shoulder, he skillfully plays enchanting melodies that resonate through the air. Leonard Gaultier's illustration beautifully captures this moment as Amphion brings life to an ancient myth with his musical talent. The intricate lettering adds depth to the artwork while emphasizing its historical significance. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported to another time and place - perhaps Luxor or Karnak in Egypt - where music intertwines with architecture and mythology. It is a testament to human creativity and ingenuity. This portrait by Gaultier is not just an artistic expression but also serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage. Through art media like this print, stories from centuries past continue to inspire and captivate audiences today.
