EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment from the tragic love story of Pyramus and Thisbe. Despite facing opposition from their families, these two Babylonians were deeply in love and decided to flee together. In this anonymous painting from the German School in the 16th century, we witness their fateful meeting at the foot of a murier tree. As Pyramus arrives, his heart sinks as he mistakenly believes that his beloved Thisbe has been devoured by a lioness. Consumed by despair, he tragically stabs himself. Little does he know that Thisbe has returned to find him lifeless on the ground. Overwhelmed with grief and unable to bear living without her true love, she too takes her own life. The artist skillfully depicts this heartbreaking scene using oil on wood, creating an atmosphere filled with sorrow and longing. The attention to detail is remarkable, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the emotional intensity of this ancient tale. Displayed at Colmar Museum in France's Unterlinden Museum collection, this German artwork from circa 1505 continues to captivate viewers even after centuries have passed. Through Leonard de Selva's expert photography skills, we are able to appreciate every brushstroke and nuance of this masterpiece. This print serves as a reminder of the enduring power of love and tragedy throughout history while showcasing the talent of artists who bring these stories to life through their creations.
