EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Pan pursues Syrinx who is transformed into a reed, 1665" transports us to the mystical world of Greek mythology. Created by French artist Michel de Marolles in 1665, this engraving is part of his renowned series called Tableaux du Temple des Muses. The scene depicted here showcases Pan, the mischievous god of nature and shepherds, relentlessly pursuing the beautiful nymph Syrinx. Frustrated by her rejection of his advances, Pan witnesses an extraordinary transformation as Syrinx turns herself into a reed to escape his relentless pursuit. The intensity of Pan's desire and frustration are palpable in this monochrome artwork. Marolles skillfully captures the essence of this ancient mythological tale through intricate details and delicate lines. The serene pond where this chase unfolds adds depth to the composition while emphasizing the geographical features reminiscent of France. This print not only serves as a visual representation but also carries religious undertones associated with Greek mythology. It symbolizes both lustful desires and divine intervention within human relationships. As we admire this exquisite piece from Jean Claude Carriere's collection, we are reminded that art has the power to transport us across time and space while evoking emotions that resonate with our own experiences.
