EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, created by Mathaus Küsel in 1668, transports us to a mythical world. The image showcases a picturesque shore framed by rugged rocks, with Neptune, the god of the sea, elegantly riding his chariot on the left side of the frame. On the right side, Salacia, another deity associated with the sea, can be seen in her own majestic chariot. At the center of this enchanting scene lies a ship caught amidst a raging storm. This dramatic element adds tension and excitement to the composition. The set design depicted in this print is from Il Pomo D'Oro opera performed during that time period. Küsel's etching technique beautifully captures every intricate detail of this elaborate stage set. His German heritage shines through as he masterfully brings Roman mythology to life through his artistry. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artwork serves as a testament to Küsel's talent and creativity during the seventeenth century. It not only reflects religious themes but also highlights entertainment and performance aspects prevalent during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time - witnessing an awe-inspiring moment where gods and humans collide within an operatic spectacle like no other.
