EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the intense and dramatic scene of "Orestes Pylades Disputing Altar" a masterpiece painted by Pieter Lastman in 1614. The painting depicts the sacrificial battle between Orestes and his loyal friend, Pylades, as they stand on the left side of an ornate altar with burning branches in their hands. On the opposite side, an executioner awaits with a menacing club, ready to carry out a grim task. In this gripping moment, Iphigeneia stands on the right, recognizing her long-lost brother Orestes. Overwhelmed with emotion, she throws flowers at her feet symbolizing joyous reunion amidst impending tragedy. A large crowd has gathered around the altar to witness this fateful event unfold. The attention to detail is remarkable; on the left side of the altar, a girl delicately attaches a flower festoon while onlookers watch in anticipation. To add further depth to this composition, there is a majestic statue of Artemis standing proudly on the right side while behind it lies a hill adorned with a round temple dedicated to Artemis from which an elaborate procession descends. This artwork not only showcases Lastman's exceptional talent but also explores themes of sacrifice and loyalty within friendship and family bonds. It serves as both an aesthetic delight for art enthusiasts and invites contemplation about human relationships and moral dilemmas that transcend time.
