EDITORS COMMENTS
Thalassa," an exquisite oil on canvas painting created by Jean Francis Auburtin in 1896, transports us to a world of mythology and allegory. Auburtin, a French artist born in 1866, masterfully captured the essence of the ancient Greek goddess Thalassa, the personification of the sea. The goddess is depicted as a nude woman, her body glistening with dewdrops, as if freshly emerged from the water. Her long, flowing hair cascades down her back, blending seamlessly with the waves that lap at her feet. The painting is set against a backdrop of a serene, tranquil seascape, with the sun setting on the horizon. The sky is painted in hues of orange, pink, and purple, casting a warm, ethereal glow over the scene. The goddess stands at the edge of the sea, one hand reaching out to touch the water, while the other cradles a seashell to her ear, listening to the whispers of the ocean. Auburtin's use of symbolism is evident in the painting, with Thalassa representing the life-giving and nurturing power of the sea. The painting is a testament to Auburtin's mastery of the medium, with the delicate brushstrokes and intricate details bringing the goddess and her surroundings to life. The painting is a beautiful example of the Symbolist movement in French art, with its focus on the inner emotions and spirituality of the subject matter. Thalassa is a timeless work of art that continues to captivate and inspire viewers with its beauty and depth. The painting is a private collection treasure and a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of France.
