Leander Swims Over the Hellespont to Meet his Mistress Hero, 1733
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that encapsulates the essence of love and determination. Created by artist Bernard Picart, this engraving is part of the collection "Le temple des Muses" found in the possession of Jean Claude Carriere. In this illustration, we witness Leander's extraordinary effort as he braves the treacherous waters of the Hellespont strait. Guided only by a lantern held by a cherub-like putto, Leander battles against powerful winds and rough weather conditions. The monochrome setting adds an air of mystery and timelessness to this ancient Greek mythological tale. The lighting in this artwork beautifully captures the contrasting elements at play - darkness surrounds Leander while light illuminates his path towards his beloved Hero. This evocative portrayal not only showcases their enduring love story but also highlights the geographical features of the sea they traverse. Picart's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, bringing forth both emotion and realism. The print transports us back to the eighteenth century when such stories were celebrated through art media like engravings. This remarkable piece serves as a reminder that true love knows no boundaries or obstacles; it transcends time and geography. It invites viewers to reflect on their own journeys for love and reminds us all that sometimes we must swim against tides to reach our heart's desire.
