Jean-Baptiste Bertrand (France, 1823-1887) Lesbia and the Sparrow, 1875 This painting illustrates the "Complaint made to the Sparrow of Lesbie" from the collection of poems 'Carmina' written by Catullus (Verona, 87 - 54 BC). Catullus, in 25 of his poems, mentions his devotion to a woman he refers to as "Lesbia", who is widely believed to have been the Roman aristocrat Clodia Metelli, who was married to Quintus Caecilius Metellus Celer. The Latin poet Catullus from the Roman Republic was a fan of Sappho (a resident of Lesbos and therefore a Lesbian as anyone would be called if resident of the Grecian Island Lesbos), and so he named his beloved after her. Catullus was passionately in love with "Lesbia", a married woman who lived in Rome. In "Lament for Lesbia's Sparrow", he depicts a sparrow who enjoys all the attentions of his mistress, only to reveal his desire and his own jealousy in the face of the indifference of his loved one towards him.

Through Trompe L’oeil Bronze, Prune Nourry Fuses Human Anatomy and Arboreal Roots

At the end of Jean-Baptiste Lully’s baroque opera Atys, the titular character is transformed into a tree. This metamorphosis, the result of a spell cast by an agitated goddess, secures Atys’ Earth-bound fate, melding human and plant life into a single body.

French artist Prune Nourry draws on this mythological allegory in a series that visualizes the hybrid form. Standing several feet tall to be lifelike or larger, a trio of bronze figures emerges through intricate networks mimicking both veins and branches, “fractal shapes that we can find in different scales in nature,” the artist says. Each sculpture references the form’s roots in operatic performance, and with the help of Béatrice Algazi, the smooth metal was painted in a trompe l’oeil style so that the works appear as if made of rope, used frequently in stage rigging. This illusory material also alludes to the connection between the infinitely large and infinitely small, a concept often described in the framework of string theory.
