EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 18: Orpheus led by Bacchus (Orfeo condotto da Bacco) is a captivating black and white etching from the 17th century. The print, created after Remigio Cantagallina and Giulio Parigi, depicts a scene from the magnificent pageant on the river Arno in Florence for the marriage of Cosimo de Medici in 1608. In this baroque masterpiece, we see Orpheus being guided by Bacchus, also known as Dionysus in Greek mythology. The two figures stand proudly on a galley ship adorned with garlands of flowers. Orpheus holds his lyre while Bacchus raises a toast with an oil burner nearby. The composition exudes grandeur and celebration as it captures the essence of this historic wedding event. The intricate details showcase the skillful craftsmanship of Cantagallina and Parigi, transporting us back to Renaissance Florence. The image offers a glimpse into Italian heritage art and its rich cultural history. It takes us on a journey through time, immersing us in mythological tales intertwined with real-life celebrations. This print serves as a reminder of the power of art to preserve moments that would otherwise be lost to time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported to an era where beauty met festivity along the banks of the River Arno in Florence – forever captured within these delicate etched lines.
