EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1674, we are transported to the vibrant world of Il Fuoco Eterno. At the center of the image, three men steal our attention. An old man stands tall, holding out an open book for a soldier to sign. The soldier, dressed in his uniform, appears both intrigued and hesitant as he contemplates leaving his mark on the pages before him. To the left of this intriguing duo stands a smaller man, clutching a pot of ink with great care. His presence adds an air of anticipation to the scene as we wonder what role he plays in this unfolding drama. Surrounding these central figures is a large group of men who seem equally engrossed in their own stories within this grand spectacle. Their expressions range from curiosity to admiration, reflecting the diverse emotions evoked by live performances during that era. Mathaus Küsel's meticulous etching captures not only the characters but also showcases his talent for set design. The stage upon which these individuals stand transports us further into their world – a rich tapestry where artistry meets reality. This remarkable piece from seventeenth-century Germany serves as a testament to both historical entertainment and artistic heritage. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, it allows us today to glimpse into an era long past while reminding us that storytelling has always been at the heart of human experience.
