The courtyard of the temple of Isis and Osiris where Sarastro was High Priest, c1816. Design for an 1816 production of Die Zauberflote ( The Magic Flute ) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791). The plot of the opera, originally produced in 1791, has overtones of freemasonry. Some say the character the Queen of the Night represents Empress Maria Theresa (1717-1780)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite courtyard of the temple of Isis and Osiris, where Sarastro served as the High Priest. Created in 1816 by Karl Friedrich Schinkel for a production of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's renowned opera, Die Zauberflote (The Magic Flute), this design beautifully captures the essence of ancient Egyptian culture. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this print transports viewers to a world steeped in religious symbolism and mysticism. The plot of Die Zauberflote, originally produced in 1791, delves into themes associated with freemasonry, adding an intriguing layer to the narrative. One cannot help but be drawn to the majestic pyramid towering over the courtyard, symbolizing both power and spirituality. The presence of statues depicting gods and goddesses like Isis further enhances the mystical ambiance. As we admire this remarkable artwork, it is fascinating to consider that some believe Empress Maria Theresa may have inspired one of its characters – the Queen of Night. This connection between historical figures adds another dimension to our understanding and appreciation of this masterpiece. Karl Friedrich Schinkel's talent shines through his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to transport us back in time. Through this print, we are reminded not only of Mozart's genius but also how art can transcend time and space, allowing us glimpses into different cultures and eras. In summary, this print offers a glimpse into an enchanting world where music meets religion meets history. It invites us on a journey through time as we explore German-Austrian artistic collaboration at its finest.
