EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from the 19th century depicts a powerful moment in Greek mythology - Orpheus at the Entrance of the Underworld meets Cerberus. The unknown artist skillfully captures this meeting between the legendary musician and the three-headed guardian of Hades with intricate detail. Orpheus, portrayed as a harpist, stands confidently before Cerberus, his lyre in hand. The scene is filled with tension as Orpheus uses his enchanting music to soothe and tame the fearsome beast. The artist's use of shading and texture brings depth to every element, from Orpheus' flowing robes to Cerberus' ferocious heads. The print transports us into a world where ancient paganism intertwines with musical prowess and religious symbolism. It serves as a reminder of humanity's eternal fascination with both music and spirituality. In this image, we witness not only an encounter between man and mythological creature but also an exploration of themes such as bravery, power, and harmony. Through their shared love for music, Orpheus manages to bridge the gap between worlds - connecting mortals with gods. This lithograph is part of a private collection that preserves its historical significance while allowing us to appreciate its artistic beauty today. Giancarlo Costa's careful restoration ensures that this timeless piece remains accessible for all who seek inspiration through artistry and mythology alike.
