EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting moment when Orpheus, the legendary musician of Greek mythology, uses his harp to perform a magical song. The illustration is taken from Charles Kingsley's renowned book "The Heroes of Greek Fairy Tales" and it beautifully depicts the scene where Orpheus casts his spell on the ship "Argo" during its construction in Iolcos. In this vividly colored lithograph by Howard Davie, we see Orpheus standing on a sandy beach with classical architecture in the background. He wears a flowing cloak and sandals as he strums his lyre, filling the air with melodious tunes that captivate all who hear them. Surrounding him are workmen dressed in tunics, diligently pulling ropes attached to the ship's hull. Orpheus' music seems to have an otherworldly effect on both man and vessel alike. As if under a spell, the heavy ship begins to move effortlessly towards the sea while being guided by small tugboats. The power of music transcends ordinary means of transport as it becomes a force capable of moving even massive structures like ships. This image not only showcases artistic brilliance but also symbolizes how music can inspire and transform our world. It reminds us that sometimes magic lies within melodies and that harmony has incredible power beyond what meets the eye.
