EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1678, immersing us in a mesmerizing scene from La Monarchia Latina Trionfante. Created by Mathaus Küsel, this set design transports us to a grotto on the verge of collapse, revealing an awe-inspiring sight above. As the rocks crumble around them, we witness the gods of Olympus seated upon their thrones in the celestial sky. Amongst these divine figures are Jupiter, Apollo, Mars, Venus, and Mercury - each exuding power and grace. This etched masterpiece beautifully captures German heritage art with its intricate details and religious symbolism drawn from Greek mythology. The image evokes a sense of wonder as we imagine ourselves witnessing this breathtaking stage performance unfold before our eyes. The performers bring these deities to life through their skillful acting within this meticulously crafted stage set. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece serves as a testament to Küsel's artistic genius and his ability to transport audiences into otherworldly realms through his creations. It is not just a photograph but rather an invitation for viewers to delve into history and immerse themselves in the magic of seventeenth-century opera entertainment
