EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the tragic tale of Pyramus and Thisbe, brought to life by the skilled hands of Hans Schaufelein the Elder. Created in 1509-10 during the Northern Renaissance period, this woodcut transports us back to a time when mythological figures held great significance. The image depicts two distressed lovers, Pyramus and Thisbe, who are separated by a forbidding wall that symbolizes societal barriers. Their anguish is palpable as they stand on opposite sides, yearning for each other's embrace. The detail in their expressions conveys their deep despair and longing. In a heart-wrenching concept of love and sacrifice, both characters hold weapons - swords and daggers - representing their willingness to commit suicide rather than live without one another. The tragedy unfolds before our eyes as we witness these mythical figures facing an untimely demise due to circumstances beyond their control. Hans Schaufelein's artistic prowess shines through in this evocative piece. His masterful use of shading creates a striking contrast between light and dark, enhancing the emotional intensity of the scene. As we gaze upon this powerful composition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are transported into a world where love knows no boundaries but is tragically thwarted by fate. This woodcut serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst war-torn times in 16th century Germany, love remains an eternal force capable of transcending all obstacles – yet sometimes met with devastating
