Lycaon's Fateful Transformation - A Haunting Engraving from the 18th Century
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print, titled "Lycaon Metamorphosed into a Wolf" transports us back to the 18th century. Created by the talented artist Bernard Picart, this piece is part of his renowned collection called Le temple des Muses. The image depicts an eerie scene where Lycaon, a figure from Greek mythology, undergoes a chilling metamorphosis into a wolf. The dark and shadowy ambiance intensifies the sense of nightmare that permeates this engraving. Flames dance in the background as if symbolizing the fiery transformation taking place. Within an opulent interior setting, we find Lycaon seated at a table adorned with exquisite furniture and vessels such as bowls and jugs. Interestingly, he appears to be attended by a servant who seems oblivious to his master's impending fate. Picart skillfully captures both the physical transformation and psychological turmoil of Lycaon through intricate details and expert artistry. This print serves as a powerful reminder of ancient myths' enduring influence on artistic expression throughout history. Now preserved in Jean Claude Carriere's private collection, this monochrome masterpiece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless allure. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported to another time - one filled with mythological intrigue and profound symbolism that still resonates within our collective consciousness.
