EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "Orpheus and His Lute, a Captivating Musical Legend". This print titled "Orpheus and His Lute" by John Charles Dollman beautifully captures the essence of the ancient Greek legend. Created in the late 19th to early 20th century, specifically in 1914, this artwork depicts Orpheus, known for his enchanting music played on a lyre rather than a lute. In Greek mythology, Orpheus possessed an extraordinary ability to charm all living creatures with his melodious tunes. This image showcases him peacefully playing his stringed instrument amidst lush greenery and serene surroundings. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he portrays Orpheus lost in his musical world while surrounded by majestic lions who appear captivated by his harmonies. The scene is taken from "Bibbys Annual 1914" edited by Joseph Bibby and published by J. Bibby & Sons in London during that time period. The color palette used adds vibrancy to the composition, enhancing its artistic appeal. This print not only serves as a visual representation of an ancient myth but also evokes feelings of relaxation and tranquility through its depiction of Orpheus engrossed in creating beautiful melodies. It reminds us of the power that music holds over our emotions and how it can transport us into another realm entirely. Overall, this artwork stands as a testament to both the enduring allure of Greek mythology and the timeless beauty found within classical
