EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Hermes, Eurydice, and Orpheus" transports us back to the enchanting world of Greek mythology. Created by an unknown European artist in the 19th century, this print is a visual representation of a scene from ancient Greek folklore. In the image, we see Hermes, the messenger of the gods and guide to souls in the afterlife. He stands tall and graceful, his winged sandals ready for flight. Beside him are Eurydice and Orpheus, a tragic couple whose love story has captivated generations. Eurydice's delicate figure exudes both vulnerability and beauty as she gazes longingly at her lover. Orpheus, known for his musical talents that could move even stones to tears, holds his lyre close to his heart. Their intertwined hands symbolize their eternal bond despite being separated by death. The intricate details of this engraving bring life to this mythological tale - from Hermes' flowing robes to the ethereal landscape surrounding them. The artist skillfully captures not only their physical features but also their emotions; longing can be seen in their eyes while hope lingers on their faces. This print serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with ancient myths and legends that continue to inspire artists throughout history. It invites us into a world where gods walk among mortals and love transcends even death itself.
