EDITORS COMMENTS
This 16th-century engraving titled "The Sun" transports viewers back in time to a world of myth and wonder. Created by Jan van der Straet, also known as Joannes Stradanus, this masterpiece showcases the artist's incredible talent and imagination. In this enchanting artwork, we witness the majestic figure of Helios, the Greek god of the sun. He is depicted riding a magnificent chariot pulled by winged horses through the vast expanse of the sky. The intricate details and delicate lines bring each element to life – from the powerful muscles of the horses to their graceful wings that effortlessly carry them across heavenly realms. As Helios guides his celestial chariot across the heavens, he illuminates everything in his path with radiant light. This portrayal symbolizes not only his divine power but also his role in controlling weather patterns and bringing warmth to Earth. "The Sun" is a testament to both artistic skill and ancient mythology. It serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with celestial bodies throughout history. This print captures an era when artists sought inspiration from classical tales and infused them into their works for all to admire. Displayed proudly in private collections around the world, this remarkable engraving continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty and mythical narrative.
