EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "River Meles, 1615" by Bernard Picart, takes us back to the idyllic scenery of the 17th century. The artist beautifully captures a moment in time along the riverbank of Meles, which was renowned for its literary significance as it flowed through Smyrna. In this engraving, we see a group of men enjoying nature's embrace on a picturesque island. Dancing together with joyous abandon, they hold hands while surrounded by lush plants and towering trees. The simplicity and serenity of their nakedness further emphasize their connection with both each other and the natural world around them. Picart's illustration transports us to a time when recreation meant finding solace in unspoiled landscapes. It invites contemplation about our own relationship with nature and how it has evolved over centuries. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia to this seventeenth-century scene, allowing us to focus on the essence of human interaction within such breathtaking surroundings. As we gaze upon this print from Les Images Ou Tableaux De Platte Peinture Des Deux Philostrates Sophistes Grecs by Blaise de Vigenere (Paris, 1615), we are reminded that art can transcend time and space to evoke emotions that resonate across generations.
