EDITORS COMMENTS
Orpheus Enchanting the Animals," a captivating masterpiece from the Venetian School, possibly attributed to Alessandro Varotari, also known as Il Padovano (1588-1648), graces the walls of Apsley House in London. This exquisite painting, once part of the Spanish Royal Collection, was captured during the Peninsular War in 1813. The painting depicts the legendary Greek mythological figure, Orpheus, as he plays his lyre, mesmerizing a menagerie of animals. Orpheus, renowned for his extraordinary musical abilities, is shown in the painting with his back towards the viewer, his eyes closed in deep concentration as he strums the strings of his lyre. The animals, enchanted by his music, gather around him, some nuzzling against him, while others gaze at him in awe. The painting is a stunning example of the Venetian School's mastery of color and light. The rich, vibrant hues of the animals' coats and the lush greenery in the background are brought to life by the artist's skillful brushstrokes. The intricate details of the animals' forms and the delicate rendering of their expressions add to the painting's charm and allure. The myth of Orpheus and his ability to enchant animals and even the gods with his music has been a source of inspiration for artists throughout history. This painting, with its timeless beauty and captivating subject matter, is a testament to the enduring power of art to transport us to another world and to evoke emotions and wonder. The painting's provenance, from the Spanish Royal Collection, adds to its historical significance. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that has been preserved and protected for future generations to enjoy. The painting's current home at Apsley House, a historic building with its own fascinating history, is a fitting place for this masterpiece to be displayed and appreciated by visitors from around the world.
