EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Magnificent Hall of Astrea". Mathaus Küsel transports us back to the vibrant streets of 17th century Germany. The scene unfolds with men and women eagerly gathering in anticipation, their eyes fixed on a grand procession making its way through a resplendent triumphal arch. Leading the procession is a regal female figure adorned with a crown, embodying the goddess Astraea herself. As she gracefully descends the stairs into the city, various figures in elaborate costumes follow closely behind her. This mesmerizing spectacle is captured from an architectural perspective, showcasing intricate details of archways and background people. The etched print originates from La Monarchia Latina Trionfante, an opera that enraptured audiences during its time. It seamlessly blends mythology and religion to create an awe-inspiring performance set design. Küsel's masterful craftsmanship brings this historical moment to life, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the rich cultural heritage of German art. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artwork serves as a testament to Küsel's talent as well as his contribution to preserving history through visual storytelling. With each glance at this remarkable piece, one can't help but be transported back in time and marvel at the grandeur and splendor that once graced those ancient streets.
