EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Daphnis Running Chloe ca 1798" by Baron François Gérard, a renowned French artist from Rome. Created using black chalk brush and brown-gray wash, this composition is heightened with white gouache on light tan wove paper. The sheet measures approximately 10 13/16 x 8 15/16 inches (275 x 227 cm). The drawing depicts a pivotal moment in the story of Daphnis and Chloe, originally written by Longus in his pastoral novel "Les Amours Pastorales de Daphnis et Chloé" published in 1559. This particular scene captures the climactic point where these two lovers finally reunite after enduring numerous trials and tribulations. Baron François Gérard's exceptional talent shines through as he masterfully portrays the emotions of both characters through their dynamic poses and expressive faces. The intricate details and delicate shading add depth to the overall composition, making it truly mesmerizing. This print is a contribution to art history, showcasing one of Baron François Gérard's notable illustrations from an early reprint dating back to around 1800. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of love depicted through visual artistry.
