EDITORS COMMENTS
This black chalk drawing, titled "Hylas and the Nymphs" by Italian artist Pietro Santi Bartoli, takes us back to the enchanting world of Roman and Greek mythology. Measuring 15.2x10.4 cm, this exquisite print showcases Bartoli's mastery in capturing delicate details with his pen and brown ink. The artwork depicts the mythical tale of Hylas, a young hero who was lured into a magical encounter with nymphs while searching for water during an expedition with Jason and the Argonauts. The nymphs, portrayed in vibrant watercolors, surround Hylas in a serene forest setting as they attempt to seduce him into their ethereal realm. Bartoli's skillful use of color brings life to each individual nymph, highlighting their alluring beauty against the dark background. The intricate lines created by black chalk add depth and texture to this masterful composition. With kind permission from the Earl of Leicester and Trustees of the Holkham Estate, we are fortunate enough to witness this remarkable piece that captures both ancient mythological narratives and seventeenth-century Italian artistry. As we gaze upon this old master drawing from Bridgeman Images' collection, let our imagination transport us back in time to experience the allure and mystery surrounding Hylas' encounter with these mesmerizing nymphs.
