EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Arsenal of Mars" takes us back to the year 1668. Created by the talented Mathaus Küsel, this etching captures a powerful scene from the set design of Il Pomo D'Oro opera. In this mesmerizing image, we witness a group of soldiers standing across from a group of women inside an arsenal. The tension between them is palpable as they face each other with determination and curiosity. Ships can be seen off in the distance, hinting at the backdrop of war and warfare that surrounds them. Küsel's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this composition. The intricate stage set transports us to another time and place, while his skillful etching technique brings depth and texture to each character. This historic snapshot not only showcases German heritage art but also highlights the concept of performance as a form of entertainment during the 17th century. It reminds us that even centuries ago, people found solace in artistic expression amidst times of conflict. Displayed proudly at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this remarkable piece invites viewers to delve into its rich narrative. As we gaze upon it, we are transported back in time—witnessing a moment where weapons meet beauty on an operatic stage—a true testament to human creativity throughout history.
