EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by Mathaus Küsel in 1678, transports us to a time of grandeur and military prowess. The image showcases an army on the march through a vast field, with soldiers on foot flanking both sides. However, what truly sets this scene apart is the majestic sight of elephants and camels leading the way down the center. The set design from La Monarchia Latina Trionfante comes alive in this etched masterpiece. It reflects not only the artistic talent of Küsel but also his ability to capture the essence of entertainment during that era. This photograph serves as a reminder of how stage performances were intricately designed to transport audiences into different worlds. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are reminded of the power and diversity within armed forces throughout history. The presence of elephants adds an exotic touch, symbolizing strength and resilience while showcasing cultural influences from distant lands. Küsel's work allows us to appreciate not only his German heritage but also his contribution to preserving history through art. This piece now resides at The Metropolitan Museum of Art where it continues to captivate visitors with its intricate details and storytelling capabilities. In conclusion, this print by Mathaus Küsel takes us back in time to witness an army marching through a field with soldiers on foot alongside magnificent elephants and camels. It serves as a testament to both warfare strategies and theatrical performances during the seventeenth century - an awe-inspiring glimpse into our rich past.
