Phineus is Delivered from the Harpies - A Heroic Rescue in 17th Century France
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print, created by Michel de Marolles in 1655, depicts a legendary scene of heroism and mythical creatures. The artwork is part of Marolles' Tableaux du Temple des Muses collection, found in the esteemed Jean Claude Carriere's private collection. In this dramatic composition, we witness Phineus being saved from the clutches of menacing Harpies by Calais and Zethes. The heroic duo, donning helmets and dressed as soldiers, swoop down on their winged transport to rescue Phineus from his tormentors. Their act of bravery exemplifies the timeless concept of selfless sacrifice for others. The monochrome engraving beautifully captures the intensity of the moment as Phineus extends his arms towards his saviors with gratitude etched across his face. The intricate details bring to life both the mythical beasts and human figures involved in this epic tale from Greek mythology. Marolles' artistic prowess shines through as he skillfully portrays each character's emotions amidst a backdrop that showcases warships sailing on turbulent waters. This seventeenth-century masterpiece serves as a testament to not only Marolles' talent but also to humanity's enduring fascination with heroic legends. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded of our innate desire for salvation and how acts of courage can transcend time and inspire generations to come.
