EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Orpheus and the Animals" we are transported to a world where music holds an enchanting power over both man and beast. Created by Flemish artist Jacob Bouttats in the late 17th century, this scene depicts Orpheus, the legendary musician of Greek mythology, playing his harp amidst a gathering of animals. The image exudes charm as Orpheus skillfully plucks at the strings of his instrument, filling the air with melodious notes that seem to resonate with every creature present. The animals surrounding him are completely entranced by his music - their eyes fixed on him with a mixture of awe and serenity. It is as if they have momentarily shed their wild instincts and surrendered themselves to the soothing harmony emanating from Orpheus' harp. Bouttats masterfully captures not only the physical beauty of each animal but also their emotional response to music. From majestic lions to graceful deer, from playful rabbits to wise owls - all are united in their appreciation for this celestial melody. This exquisite print transports us back in time, allowing us to witness firsthand the transformative power of music. It serves as a reminder that art has an extraordinary ability to transcend boundaries and touch our souls across generations. As we gaze upon "Orpheus and the Animals" we cannot help but be captivated by its timeless allure – an enduring testament to humanity's eternal fascination with both music and visual expression.
