EDITORS COMMENTS
This black-and-white woodcut print from 1563, titled "Orpheus pro Eurydice supplicat Orco Iohan Posthii Germershemii" is a true masterpiece that combines the talents of Johannes Posthius Germershemius and Virgil Solis. The image brings to life the poignant moment when Orpheus pleads with Hades for the return of his beloved Eurydice. The intricate details and elegant figures created by Solis beautifully complement the poetic verses written by Posthius in his Tetrasticha inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses. This collaboration between two renowned artists showcases their mastery in capturing emotion through visual art and literature. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to a mythical realm where Orpheus stands before the formidable figure of Hades, desperately begging for mercy. The intensity of Orpheus' plea is palpable as he reaches out towards Hades, hoping against hope for a chance to reunite with his lost love.

It is truly remarkable how this single image manages to convey such profound emotions within its monochromatic palette. This rare gem from the Liszt Collection allows us to appreciate not only the artistic brilliance but also serves as a reminder of humanity's eternal longing for love and our unwavering determination in pursuit of
