EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "Apollo and Marsyas" by Italian artist Michelangelo Anselmi. Created between 1491-1492 and 1554-1556, this particular version was painted around 1540 using oil on panel. The painting depicts a dramatic scene from Greek mythology, where Apollo, the god of music and arts, challenges Marsyas to a musical contest. As the story goes, Marsyas plays his flute with exceptional skill, but when it is Apollo's turn to play his lyre, he effortlessly outshines him. In a fit of jealousy and rage at being defeated, Marsyas is ultimately punished by being flayed alive. Anselmi's rendition of this mythological tale is both visually striking and emotionally charged. The vibrant colors and meticulous details bring life to each character portrayed in the composition. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the scene while highlighting the intense emotions experienced by both Apollo and Marsyas. This remarkable artwork from the Liszt Collection captures not only Anselmi's technical mastery but also his ability to convey complex narratives through paintbrush strokes. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of classical mythology in inspiring artists throughout history
