EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating woodcut print titled "Orpheus playing among animals" transports viewers back to the 16th century, offering a glimpse into the mythical world of Greek mythology. Created by an unknown Italian artist and featured in Giovanni Luca Conforti's book "Breve e facile maniera d'esercitarsi" this engraving showcases Orpheus, a legendary musician and poet. In the image, Orpheus stands tall with his fiddle in hand, surrounded by a harmonious gathering of creatures from all walks of life. A snake slithers at his feet while a rabbit curiously observes nearby. A majestic lion rests peacefully beside a graceful deer as birds perch on branches above them. Even a peacock proudly displays its vibrant feathers amidst this enchanting scene. Orpheus' music has bewitched these diverse animals, bringing them together in perfect harmony. The power of his melodies transcends language barriers and unites species that would typically be adversaries or indifferent towards one another. This woodcut print not only captures the essence of Greek mythology but also emphasizes the universal language of music that can bridge gaps between different beings. It serves as a reminder that art has the ability to transcend boundaries and create connections where none seemed possible before. Luisa Ricciarini's skillful reproduction allows us to appreciate this historic artwork today, reminding us of our shared humanity and our innate connection with nature through both music and visual expression.
