EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "La Nourriture" or "Food" transports us back to the 17th century with its rustic charm. Created by the talented artist Leonard Gaultier, this engraving is part of a series called Les Images Ou Tableaux De Platte Peinture Des Deux Philostrates Sophistes Grecs, published in Paris in 1615. The image depicts a mythical creature known as a centaur, which is half-human and half-horse according to Greek mythology. In this scene, the centaur stands outside in a rural setting, rearing up on its hind legs as if ready to charge forward. It exudes strength and power while maintaining an air of mystery. Gaultier's intricate details bring this mythical beast to life. The monochrome palette adds depth and intensity to the composition, emphasizing every line and texture meticulously engraved onto the plate. As we gaze at this artwork from centuries ago, we are reminded of humanity's fascination with mythological creatures throughout history. This print not only showcases Gaultier's artistic skill but also serves as a testament to our enduring curiosity about ancient tales and legends. Whether displayed in a gallery or cherished within your own collection, this remarkable piece offers an intriguing glimpse into both art history and Greek mythology.
