EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to ancient Greek mythology, where the tragic love story of Orpheus and Eurydice unfolds. The artwork, titled "Orpheus Eurydice Game Mythology Jeu de la Mythologie" is a stunning etching created by Stefano della Bella in 1644. The image depicts the pivotal moment when Orpheus, a gifted musician and poet, descends into the underworld to rescue his beloved wife Eurydice. With delicate lines and intricate details, Della Bella brings this mythical scene to life. We can almost hear the haunting melodies of Orpheus's lyre as he charms Hades with his music. The composition captures both hope and despair as Orpheus gazes longingly at Eurydice while leading her out of the dark realm. However, tragedy strikes when he breaks Hades' command not to look back at her until they reach daylight. In this poignant portrayal, we witness their connection severed once again as Eurydice fades away into eternal darkness. Stefano della Bella's masterful technique showcases his skill in capturing emotion through artistry. This Italian artist from Florence was renowned for his ability to create intricate prints that conveyed powerful narratives. As we gaze upon this remarkable print by Artokoloro from the Liszt Collection, we are reminded of the enduring power of mythological tales and how they continue to captivate our imagination centuries later.
