EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 17th century, immersing us in the grandeur of a palace courtyard. At its center stands a distinguished man, surrounded by his attendants who eagerly await his command. The scene is brought to life with intricate etching by Mathaus Küsel, a renowned German artist. Above this bustling courtyard, an ethereal vision unfolds before our eyes. A woman appears in a similar setting, perhaps representing a dream or aspiration for the central figure below. This juxtaposition adds an element of mystery and intrigue to the composition. The set design depicted here originates from Il Pomo D'Oro, an opera that premiered in 1668. It showcases the meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship that went into creating stage sets during this era. As we admire this snapshot from history, we are transported not only to another time but also to another world - one filled with opulence and artistic expression. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly houses this remarkable piece as part of their heritage collection. Mathaus Küsel's masterful work captures both the essence of performance art and the rich cultural heritage of Germany in the seventeenth century. This print serves as a testament to his talent as well as a window into an era long gone but forever preserved through artistry and imagination
