Painting Description
"Pygmalion et Galatée (recto); Étude de Costume (verso)" is a notable work by the French artist and engraver Hubert-François Gravelot, also known as Hubert-François Bourguignon (1699–1773). This double-sided artwork showcases Gravelot's versatility and skill in both thematic composition and costume study.
On the recto, "Pygmalion et Galatée" depicts the mythological tale from Ovid's Metamorphoses, where Pygmalion, a sculptor, falls in love with a statue he has carved. The statue, which he names Galatea, is so lifelike and beautiful that Pygmalion prays to Venus for a bride who would be the living likeness of his creation. Moved by his devotion, Venus brings the statue to life, and Pygmalion's adoration for Galatea is consummated in their union. Gravelot's interpretation of this narrative is likely to reflect the Rococo style's fascination with themes of transformation, love, and the blurring of art and life, which were prevalent during the 18th century.
On the verso, "Étude de Costume" presents a study of costume, which may serve as an example of Gravelot's attention to detail and his interest in the fashion and attire of his time. Costume studies were essential for artists in the production of historical and genre scenes, ensuring that the depicted garments were appropriate to the period or setting. Gravelot's work in this area would have been particularly relevant, as he was known for his book illustrations and contributions to the visual culture of the Enlightenment.
Hubert-François Gravelot played a significant role in the development of French illustration and the dissemination of the Rococo style, particularly through his influence on British art during his time in London. "Pygmalion et Galatée (recto); Étude de Costume (verso)" exemplifies his artistic contributions and provides insight into the cultural and aesthetic preoccupations of the 18th century.
