EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Elysian Fields" a remarkable set design from the opera La Monarchia Latina Trionfante, created in 1678 by Mathaus Küsel. The image takes us back to the 17th century, immersing us in a world of mythological wonder. In this etched masterpiece, we witness an enchanting stage set that transports us to the afterlife. The Elysian Fields, also known as Elysium, is beautifully depicted with intricate details and precision. As we gaze upon it, we can almost feel the ethereal atmosphere and sense the presence of ancient Greek mythology. The background people add depth and life to this mesmerizing scene. They seem captivated by the performers who grace this mythical realm with their artistry. This evocative snapshot captures not only a moment in time but also conveys a profound concept of death and transcendence. Mathaus Küsel's German heritage shines through his exceptional craftsmanship evident in every line etched on this stage design. It is no wonder that such artwork found its home at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire visitors today. As we contemplate this photograph print from Heritage Images, we are transported into another era filled with entertainment and cultural significance.
