EDITORS COMMENTS
Rising of Dawn," also known as "Apollo and the Horses," is a stunning oil painting created between 1652 and 1655 by the renowned French artist Charles Le Brun. This allegorical masterpiece is a decorative panel that showcases the Baroque era's rich artistic school and the heritage of French art. The painting depicts the sun god Apollo, riding a chariot pulled by four horses, as he rises above the horizon at dawn. The god is accompanied by the Hours, personifications of the seven days of the week, who play musical instruments to herald the arrival of a new day. The women are dressed elegantly, their faces expressing joy and anticipation. The colorful painting, now housed at the Carnavalet Museum in Paris, is a testament to the Baroque era's love for grandeur, mythology, and the celebration of time. The concept of the painting is both religious and conceptual, reflecting the belief in the cyclical nature of time and the importance of music and the arts in announcing its passage. The painting's intricate details and vibrant colors bring the mythological scene to life, transporting the viewer to another time and place. The use of oil painting technique adds depth and texture to the image, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the seventeenth century's artistic heritage. The painting's location at the Carnavalet Museum in Paris, one of the city's most prestigious museums, is a fitting tribute to its artistic and historical significance. It is a reminder of France's rich artistic past and the enduring influence of the Baroque era on Western art. Overall, "Rising of Dawn," or "Apollo and the Hours," is a beautiful and captivating work of art that continues to inspire and delight viewers, offering a glimpse into the world of mythology, music, and the passage of time.
