EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from ca. 1850 depicts a scene from the opera "Parisina" by Gaetano Donizetti, showcasing the dramatic moment when Parisina and Ugo are brought before Azzo in chains. The intricate details of this print by Peter Carl Geissler transport us back to 19th century Italy, where love and betrayal intertwine in a tale of forbidden passion.
The expressions on the faces of Parisina and Ugo convey their inner turmoil as they confess their love for each other, despite being unable to act upon it. The chains that bind them serve as a stark reminder of the consequences of their illicit affair, adding an element of tension to the composition.
As we gaze at this black and white masterpiece, we are reminded of the power of music and art to evoke strong emotions and tell compelling stories. The skillful craftsmanship evident in every line and shadow demonstrates Geissler's mastery as an engraver, capturing not just a moment in time but also the essence of human relationships.
This print is not just a visual representation but also a window into another world, inviting us to ponder themes of love, loyalty, and sacrifice. It serves as a timeless reminder that some bonds cannot be broken, even in the face of adversity.
