EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail of the painting "Good and Evil: Libido, 1832" by Andre Jacques Victor Orsel. The artwork, displayed at the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Lyon, France, depicts a scene filled with symbolism and emotion. In this particular section of the painting, we are drawn to two lovers locked in an intimate embrace. Their passionate kiss is juxtaposed against a backdrop of contrasting elements - a knight on horseback representing chivalry and honor, while bats symbolize darkness and temptation. It is as if these figures represent the eternal struggle between good and evil within human desires. The artist's didactic approach becomes evident as he explores themes such as lust and love through his masterful brushstrokes. The horses nearby add an element of wildness to the composition, reminding us that our primal instincts can often overpower reason. Orsel's attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke seems deliberate in conveying complex emotions. This print allows us to appreciate his skill even more closely than viewing the original canvas itself. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of our own capacity for both virtue and vice. It serves as a timeless reminder that love can be both beautiful and dangerous – capable of bringing joy or leading one astray into forbidden territories. Peter Willi has expertly captured this profound moment from Orsel's masterpiece through his lens, allowing us to delve deeper into its intricate narrative.
