Orpheus Charming the Animals,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating masterpiece by the Italian artist Peregrino da Cesena, dates back to the 15th or early 16th century. This engraving, in black and white on ivory laid paper, is an exquisite example of the artist's skill in depicting the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and his ability to charm animals and even the underworld with his music. The image showcases Orpheus, a legendary musician and poet, standing in the center, serenely playing his lyre. Surrounding him are a multitude of animals, including lions, leopards, bears, and birds, all transfixed by the melodic tones emanating from his musical instrument. The animals' enchantment is evident in their peaceful expressions and stillness, as they gaze at Orpheus with adoration. This engraving, which is part of the rich artistic heritage of Italy, is now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago. It is a testament to the enduring power of art and music, and the ability to transcend boundaries and captivate audiences across centuries. The intricate details and the interplay of light and shadow in this work are a feast for the eyes, making it a must-see for anyone visiting the gallery or exhibition. The use of niello, a technique that involves engraving lines into a metal plate and then filling them with a black powder, adds depth and texture to the image, making it a true work of art. The antique print is a reminder of the cultural and historical significance of the arts, and a reminder of the power of music to bring people and creatures together in harmony. In this scene, Peregrino da Cesena has beautifully captured the essence of Orpheus' legendary charm, making it a timeless work of art that continues to inspire and captivate audiences to this day.
