EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases the intriguing artwork titled "Apollo Marsyas Judgment Midas right Midas ears". Created by Melchior Meier, a talented German artist active in Italy during 1572-1582, this etching beautifully captures a pivotal moment in Greek mythology. At the center of the composition stands Apollo, holding a flaying knife with an intense gaze. His attention is directed towards Midas, who sits on a tree stump with his donkey-like ears exposed. The anguish and humiliation on Midas' face are palpable as he faces judgment for daring to challenge Apollo's musical prowess. Beyond them, soldiers and satyrs observe the scene with curiosity and perhaps even amusement. In the background, Marsyas is roped to a tree while his flayed corpse lies nearby - a grim reminder of his own failed attempt at surpassing Apollo's musical talents. The intricate details captured in this print allow viewers to delve into Greek mythology and witness this dramatic moment firsthand. Measuring approximately 10 1/4 x 13 3/4 inches (26 x 34.9 cm), this piece exemplifies Meier's skillful craftsmanship and attention to detail. Whether displayed in an art gallery or cherished within your personal collection, this print invites you to explore ancient myths through visual storytelling.
