EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite antique print depicts the Incantation Scene from Carl Maria von Weber's opera "Der Freischutz" or "The Freeshooter," created by renowned British artist Robert Caney in the 19th century. The scene illustrates the moment when the title character, Max, performs a dangerous incantation to ensure his success in a hunting contest, using the help of the supernatural. Caney's masterful use of pen and brown ink with graphite on wove paper captures the eerie and otherworldly atmosphere of the scene. The dark, brooding forest setting is contrasted by the bright, otherworldly figures of the supernatural beings, Samiel and his companions. Max, dressed in hunting attire, is shown in the foreground, his intense focus and determination evident as he recites the incantation. This print is a stunning example of the historical and cultural significance of opera and theatre in Britain during the 19th century. It was originally created as a set design for a production of "Der Freischutz" at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London. The Incantation Scene was a popular and memorable moment in the opera, and Caney's depiction of it has stood the test of time, remaining a captivating work of art that continues to intrigue and inspire. Today, this print is part of the collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it is displayed as a testament to the rich heritage of art and performance history.
