EDITORS COMMENTS
In this handcolored copperplate engraving, the Greek god Orpheus is depicted playing his lyre, surrounded by the Roman goddesses Abundantia and Veritas. Orpheus, the legendary musician and poet, is known for his extraordinary ability to charm all living beings with his music. Here, he captivates not only the animals at his feet but also the gods and goddesses in the heavens. Abundantia, the goddess of abundance and prosperity, is shown on the left, pouring corn from a cornucopia into a bowl. Her presence symbolizes the abundance and wealth that Orpheus' music brings. The cornucopia, a symbol of plenty, is a common attribute of Abundantia, emphasizing her role as the giver of material wealth and the embodiment of prosperity. Veritas, the goddess of truth, is depicted on the right, holding a mirror and a scales. The mirror symbolizes self-reflection and the truth that one sees within, while the scales represent the balance and fairness that Veritas brings. Her presence underscores the idea that Orpheus' music not only brings material wealth but also spiritual truth and enlightenment. This beautiful engraving, created by Jacques Louis Constant Lacerf after illustrations by Leonard Defraine, is a testament to the enduring power of classical mythology. The intricate details, vibrant colors, and elegant composition make it a timeless work of art that continues to captivate and inspire. This image is a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of the Greek and Roman gods and their enduring influence on art, literature, and human imagination.
