EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Evening: a seated satyr clasps his child, a figure hangs a garland on a pier beyond". Charles le Brun takes us back to the 17th century. The image is part of his renowned series called "Hours of the day" which beautifully captures different moments in time. The scene depicts an intimate father-son moment as a half-beast, half-man satyr tenderly embraces his child. Their bond is palpable, showcasing the timeless theme of fatherhood and family love. Beyond them, another figure can be seen hanging a garland on a pier, adding an element of mystery and intrigue to the composition. Le Brun's masterful etching technique brings out every intricate detail in this domestic setting. The contrast between light and shadow creates depth and adds to the overall atmospheric quality of the image. As we gaze upon this piece from France's rich artistic heritage, we are transported into mythology where mythical creatures coexist with humans. Le Brun skillfully combines elements from both worlds to create an evocative portrayal that transcends time. This photograph print by Charles le Brun is housed at The Met Museum thanks to Pierre Mariette's contribution. It serves as a reminder of our shared human experiences throughout history and invites us to contemplate the passing hours of each day while cherishing our loved ones.
