EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail from Andre Jacques Victor Orsel's masterpiece, "Good and Evil: Scorn, 1832". The oil on canvas painting, housed in the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Lyon, France, showcases the incredible talent of the French artist. In this particular section of the artwork, we are drawn into a world filled with contrasting emotions and symbolism. A knight stands tall and proud, representing virtue and righteousness. His armor gleams brightly against the dark background as he gazes down at a dwarf kneeling before him. The dwarf embodies abandonment and despair as he looks up at the knight with contemptuous eyes. This interaction between good and evil is further emphasized by the presence of a mother holding her child nearby. Their innocent presence serves as a stark contrast to the sinister atmosphere surrounding them. Orsel's didactic approach to this painting invites viewers to contemplate themes of morality and human nature. Through his masterful brushstrokes, he skillfully conveys complex emotions within each character. Peter Willi's expert photography brings out every intricate detail of this remarkable artwork for all to appreciate. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are transported into Orsel's world where good battles evil amidst an array of emotions - from scorn to compassion - leaving us captivated by its timeless beauty.
