Orestes and Pylades brought to Iphigenia for Sacrifice, 1514/1536. This scene comes from Greek mythology. According to one version of the story, Orestes (son of Agamemnon, king of Mycenae) and his companion, Pylades, were sent on a mission to retrieve a sculpture of the goddess Artemis. They were captured, however, and brought to the temple to be sacrificed. Luckily, the temples high priestess, Iphigenia, turns out to be Orestess sister, who he believed was sacrificed long before. Overjoyed by their reunion, Iphigenia saves Orestes and Pylades and helps them obtain the statue. Agostino Musi was born in Venice and was a pupil of Giulio Campagnola (about 1482-after 1514) before going to Rome, where he worked under Marcantonio until 1520

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the dramatic moment of "Orestes and Pylades brought to Iphigenia for Sacrifice" as envisioned by Agostino Musi, an Italian artist from the 16th century. Inspired by Greek mythology, this scene portrays Orestes, son of King Agamemnon, and his loyal companion Pylades on a perilous mission to retrieve a sacred sculpture of the goddess Artemis. However, their quest takes an unexpected turn when they are captured and taken to the temple for sacrifice. To their astonishment, they discover that the high priestess in charge is none other than Iphigenia - Orestes' long-lost sister whom he believed had been sacrificed years ago. Overwhelmed with joy at their reunion, Iphigenia defies her duty and saves her brother and his friend from certain death. Agostino Musi skillfully captures this emotional encounter in his engraving. The intricate details bring life to each character's expressions as well as the grandeur of the temple setting. Through his artistry, Musi transports us back in time to witness this poignant moment filled with love, sacrifice, and divine intervention. Displayed at The Cleveland Museum of Art today, this print serves as a testament to both ancient Greek mythology and Renaissance artistic mastery. It reminds us of our enduring fascination with tales that explore complex human emotions against mythical backdrops while showcasing Musi's talent for storytelling through visual art.
