EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating artwork "Orpheus Among the Animals" by Hans Leu, the Younger, takes us on a journey into ancient Greek mythology. This exquisite tempera on canvas print depicts Orpheus, a legendary Thracian musician and poet known for his ability to enchant all living creatures with his music. In this scene, we find Orpheus standing amidst a lush landscape on an idyllic island. Surrounded by various animals from Roman mythology, he plays his musical instrument with great skill and passion. As he strums the strings of his lyre or lute-like instrument, the animals are mesmerized by the magical melodies that fill the air. Leu's masterful brushstrokes bring life to each animal in intricate detail - from majestic lions and graceful deer to mischievous monkeys and curious birds. The vibrant colors of nature blend harmoniously with Orpheus' presence as he effortlessly commands their attention through his artistry. This painting captures not only the charm of Orpheus but also showcases Leu's exceptional talent in portraying mythical scenes. It is housed at Kunstmuseum in Basel, Switzerland, where it continues to captivate visitors with its timeless beauty. "Orpheus Among the Animals" invites us to immerse ourselves in classical mythology while reminding us of the power that music holds over our hearts and souls.
