EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Roelant Savery's masterpiece, "Orphee dans les Enfers - Orpheus in the Underworld". Painted between 1612 and 1615, this oil on wood painting measures 27x35 cm and is housed in the prestigious Art History Museum in Vienna. Savery's composition transports us to the mythical realm of ancient Greece, where we witness the legendary figure of Orpheus navigating through the treacherous depths of hell. The artist skillfully captures both the beauty and terror of this underworld with his masterful use of color and texture. In this scene, Orpheus stands amidst a fiery landscape, surrounded by menacing monsters that guard the gates to Hades. His lyre, an iconic symbol representing his musical prowess, hangs from his side as he bravely confronts these otherworldly creatures. The dramatic rocky terrain adds depth to the painting while also emphasizing Orpheus' isolation within this desolate realm. Through Savery's brushstrokes, we can almost feel the heat emanating from the flames and hear echoes of distant cries. "Orphee dans les Enfers - Orpheus in the Underworld" serves as a testament to Savery's mastery in capturing mythological narratives with vivid detail and emotional intensity. This timeless artwork continues to captivate viewers today with its portrayal of one man's journey into darkness for love and redemption.
