Apollo, the son of Zeus and Leto, was the most Greek of all Gods. The mythological God of beauty, light and arts also lent his name to some butterfly species, like the "Parnassius apollo" - a common mountain species from Europe and Caucasus, logo of our gallery. Expert entomologists will also have in mind the Archon apollinus, a butterfly originating from Turkey, and its cousin Augosoma centaurus (previously listed as Archon centaurus), logo of "L'Atelier de Marc Poty".
1,618 is the mathematical expression for the golden number from which the name of our gallery is issued.
The canvas "Sunrise on the Adriatic" gained in 1910 a sharp success near criticisms during an exhibition. Its author, Boronali, anagram of Aliboron in the fable of Jean de La Fontaine, were actually also an ass on the tail of which the writer Roland Dorgelès and his accomplices from Montmartre had attached a brush!
