EDITORS COMMENTS
**A Timeless Masterpiece: "Cretaceous in Black Bust of Apollo"**
In this exquisite watercolour print from the late 18th century, Austrian artist Johann Heinrich Lips (1758-1817) has captured the divine essence of ancient Greek mythology. The profile bust of Apollo, god of music and poetry, is rendered with remarkable precision and nuance on a black background. The delicate pencil work provides a subtle texture to the image, while the watercolour washes bring out the soft contours of the subject's features.
This stunning piece from 1785 showcases Lips' mastery over his medium as he expertly balances light and shadow to create an air of serenity around Apollo's profile. As we gaze upon this timeless artwork, we are transported back in time to a world where mythology was woven into everyday life. The intricate details and subtle shading on the bust itself demonstrate Lips' attention to detail and dedication to his craft.
This print is not only a testament to the artist's skill but also an ode to the enduring power of mythological themes that continue to captivate us today. As we marvel at this beautiful artwork, we are reminded of the timeless allure of ancient Greece and its rich cultural heritage.
