EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic artwork "Atlas, 1615" by Leonard Gaultier. The image is a plate from Les Images Ou Tableaux De Platte Peinture Des Deux Philostrates Sophistes Grecs, a renowned collection by Blaise de Vigenere in Paris during the 17th century. In Greek mythology, Atlas was one of the primordial Titans known for his incredible strength and endurance. This engraving beautifully captures his powerful presence as he carries a celestial globe on his shoulders, symbolizing his role in supporting the heavens. The artist's attention to detail is evident in this monochrome illustration, highlighting every contour of Atlas' naked form against an exterior backdrop. Through this piece, Gaultier skillfully combines art with science and cartography to depict the concept of map making and astronomy prevalent during that era. The print not only portrays Atlas as a strong male figure but also represents human determination and resilience. It serves as a reminder of our capacity to bear immense burdens while persevering through challenges. Displayed within Jean Claude Carriere's remarkable collection, this historic artwork continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and significance. Whether admired for its artistic brilliance or revered for its mythological symbolism, "Atlas, 1615" remains an enduring testament to both ancient legends and human creativity throughout history.
