"Sanguines" by Pierre Louÿs is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative seems to explore themes of art, beauty, and sensuality through the interactions of its characters, notably Bryaxis, an aged sculptor, and a group of younger apprentices who idolize him. The context appears to blend historical elements and mythological references, hinting at a pursuit of the ideal in both art and love. At the start of the story, two young apprentices are in the lush gardens of Ephesus with the venerable sculptor Bryaxis. They are filled with reverence for the elderly artist, who reflects on his glories and connections to his past works. The arrival of the playful Ophélion introduces a significant gossip about a Queen's portrait by the artist Clésidès, who faces unusual demands from her. This leads to comedic exchanges about hierarchical roles within artistry and the tension between model and creator, setting a backdrop of artistic rivalry and societal expectations as the characters navigate their relationships amid the vibrant cultural landscape of their time.
