EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the timeless masterpiece "Orpheus and Eurydice" by renowned artists Girodet-Trioson Anne-Louis and Gerard Francois-Pascal-Simon. Created between 1767-1824, this enchanting engraving from 1798 captures a pivotal moment in Greek mythology. The scene depicts Orpheus, the legendary musician, descending into the depths of Hades to rescue his beloved wife Eurydice. With his lyre in hand, Orpheus's sorrowful expression reflects his determination as he navigates through the treacherous underworld. The delicate strokes and intricate details in this drawing are a testament to Girodet or Gerard's exceptional artistic skills. Inspired by Virgil's epic poem "The Georgics" this plate facing page 121 transports viewers into a world of myth and emotion. The composition exudes both beauty and tragedy as Orpheus desperately tries to bring back Eurydice from death's clutches. As part of the Liszt Collection, this print preserves an important piece of art history for generations to come. It serves as a reminder of the power that visual storytelling holds over our imagination and emotions.
