EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Arion saved by a dolphin" transports us back to the 17th century France. Created by the talented artist Michel de Marolles, this piece is part of his renowned collection called Tableaux du Temple des Muses. The image showcases a powerful scene from Greek mythology where Arion, a poet and musician, finds himself in peril at sea. Intriguingly, it is a majestic dolphin that comes to Arion's rescue in this dramatic moment. With its sleek body gracefully gliding through the water, the dolphin symbolizes both strength and compassion. Arion can be seen playing his lyre while being cradled on the back of this benevolent creature. The intricate details captured through engraving bring life to every element within the artwork - from Arion's expressive face to the ripples in the water beneath them. This monochrome masterpiece beautifully captures not only an extraordinary mythological event but also highlights Marolles' mastery as an artist. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of how art has always been intertwined with literature and music throughout history. It serves as a testament to human creativity and imagination across different professions and geographical locations. This remarkable piece is now preserved in Jean Claude Carriere's private collection for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its historical significance and artistic brilliance for generations to come.
