EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to ancient Greece, where we witness a delightful scene between Hymen and Cupid. The steel engraving by E. Chavane depicts the mischievous Cupid playing a lyre held by Hymenaios, the god of marriage ceremonies. Set within an oval frame bordered by Thomas Cook, this enchanting image showcases Hymen and Cupid sitting on a low wall adorned with beautiful roses. Hymen is depicted wearing a garland of roses in his hair, symbolizing love and fertility, while holding the indispensable attribute of a wedding torch. The digital restoration by Pictore has breathed new life into this 19th-century creation by William Hogarth. This intricate illustration captures the essence of Greek mythology and culture, transporting us to a time when gods roamed among mortals. The horizontal composition allows for an unobstructed front view of these mythical figures as they engage in their playful interaction. Cupid's musical instrument, the lyre, adds an element of harmony to this timeless scene. With its rich historical significance and artistic beauty, this print serves as a testament to the enduring allure of ancient Greece's cultural heritage. It invites viewers to appreciate both the skillful craftsmanship behind its creation and the mythological narrative it portrays – one that celebrates love, weddings, and eternal bonds forged through marriage.
