EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back to ancient Greece as we witness the majestic Apollo seated in his chariot. Giovanni Antonio Pordenone, a renowned Italian artist of the Renaissance era, skillfully captures the essence of this mythological deity. Apollo, known as the god of music and poetry among many other attributes, is depicted here with his trusty viol resting on his lap. The intricate details of the drawing bring out the divine aura surrounding him. His graceful posture exudes confidence and power while his gaze seems to penetrate our very souls. The horse-drawn chariot adds an element of grandeur to the scene, symbolizing Apollo's role as a celestial messenger who traverses between heaven and earth. The horses themselves appear strong and spirited, perfectly complementing their master's presence. This artwork not only showcases Pordenone's mastery in capturing human form but also highlights his ability to convey emotion through delicate strokes. The use of brown ink with brown wash heightened by white body color creates depth and dimension within the composition. As we admire this exquisite piece from The Devonshire Collections at Chatsworth House, we are reminded of the enduring allure of classical mythology. It serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with gods and goddesses who embody various aspects of life - in this case, music and its transcendent power.
