EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Apollo and Diana kill Niobes Children with their arrows: she is turned to stone" transports us back to the 17th century. Created by French artist Michel de Marolles, this engraving is part of his renowned collection called Tableaux du Temple des Muses. The scene depicted in the artwork originates from Greek mythology and showcases a fierce combat between two powerful deities - Apollo and Diana. With deadly accuracy, they rain down arrows upon Niobe's children, resulting in their tragic demise. As a consequence of her grief-stricken anguish, Niobe herself is transformed into stone. Marolles skillfully captures the intensity of this legendary tale through intricate details and precise artistry. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of timelessness to the piece while emphasizing its dramatic impact. This print not only serves as a visual representation of ancient mythological events but also offers insight into religious beliefs prevalent during that era. It highlights the power dynamics between gods and mortals while exploring themes such as war, death, and divine intervention. Preserved within Jean Claude Carriere's collection today, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its evocative storytelling and masterful execution. It stands as a testament to Marolles' artistic prowess and his ability to bring mythical narratives to life through engravings like these.
