EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Legend of Orpheus and Eurydice" transports viewers back to the 17th century. Created by French artist Leonard Gaultier in 1615, this intricate piece is a plate from Blaise de Vigenare's book "Les Images Ou Tableaux De Platte Peinture Des Deux Philostrates Sophistes Grecs". The scene depicted here showcases the mythical tale of Orpheus and Eurydice. In Greek mythology, Orpheus was a gifted musician who possessed the power to charm all living creatures with his beautiful melodies. When his beloved wife Eurydice tragically died, he ventured into the Underworld to plead for her return. Moved by his music, Hades agreed on one condition: Orpheus must walk ahead while Eurydice followed behind him without looking back until they reached the surface world. However, overcome with doubt and longing to see her face again, Orpheus glanced back just before reaching safety. In that moment of weakness, he lost her forever. Gaultier skillfully captures this poignant moment as Orpheus turns towards Eurydice with anguish in his eyes while she fades away into darkness. The detailed engravings bring life to their flowing garments and expressive faces against the backdrop of a majestic temple dedicated to the muses. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, it serves as a testament not only to Gaultier's artistic talent but also to the enduring power of ancient myths that continue to captivate our imaginations across centuries and cultures.
