EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported into the realm of Persian mythology through the artistic genius of Gustave Moreau. The Sacred Elephant (Peri) stands as a mesmerizing symbol of power and spirituality, its majestic presence emanating an aura that transcends time. Moreau's intricate watercolour and gouache technique bring to life the rich tapestry of Persian folklore, where Peris - ethereal beings often depicted as beautiful fairies - hold significant importance. This allegorical masterpiece showcases Moreau's deep understanding of both literature and art, seamlessly merging them into one harmonious composition. The National Museum of Western Art in Tokyo is fortunate to house such a remarkable piece within their collection. As we gaze upon it, we cannot help but be drawn into the artist's world; a world where mythological creatures roam freely and tales unfold with every brushstroke. This artwork serves as a reminder that fine art has the power to transport us beyond our reality, allowing us to explore different cultures and belief systems. It invites us to delve deeper into Persian mythology while appreciating Moreau's exceptional talent for capturing emotion on paper. As we admire The Sacred Elephant (Peri), let us immerse ourselves in its enchanting narrative, embracing the beauty that lies within ancient legends and timeless works of art.
