EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "Glaucus Scylla" by Laurent de La Hyre, a renowned French artist from the 17th century. Created between 1640 and 1644, this oil on canvas painting measures an impressive 146.4 x 118.4 cm (57 5/8 x 46 5/8 in. ). The artwork depicts the mythical tale of Glaucus and Scylla, two figures from Greek mythology intertwined in a tragic love story. The composition is filled with intricate details that bring the narrative to life: Glaucus, a sea god transformed into a fish-like creature after consuming magical herbs, gazes longingly at Scylla while she recoils in fear and confusion. Laurent de La Hyre's exceptional skill is evident in his masterful use of light and shadow, which adds depth and drama to the scene. The rich colors and delicate brushstrokes further enhance the emotional intensity portrayed within this piece. As we admire this exquisite print from Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness this timeless myth unfold before our eyes. It serves as a testament to both de La Hyre's artistic prowess and his ability to capture complex emotions through his work.
