EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing set design from the opera "Il Pomo D'Oro" in 1668. Created by Mathaus Küsel, a renowned German artist of the 17th century, this etching transports us to a world of mythological wonder. At the center of the image stands a female figure in all her glory, radiating divine power. She is surrounded by burning rocks that symbolize both destruction and rebirth. Below her, Cupid sails on a burning chariot, adding an element of passion and desire to the scene. The stage set exudes an aura of enchantment as it brings together elements from Roman mythology and religious symbolism. It serves as a testament to Küsel's artistic prowess in capturing complex themes through his intricate designs. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of the rich heritage art that exists within our cultural history. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly houses this piece, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in its beauty and significance. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness not only a performance but also experience the emotions evoked by these performers who brought these mythical tales to life on stage. It serves as a reminder that entertainment has always been intertwined with religion and mythology throughout centuries past.
