EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back to the 17th century as Mathaus Küsel's intricate set design from Il Pomo D'Oro comes to life. A woman in a majestic chariot gracefully arrives at the haunting ruins of a once magnificent building, while above her, the Olympian gods gaze down with both curiosity and admiration. The atmosphere is heightened by an armed female figure standing prominently in the foreground, adding an element of mystery and power. Küsel's etching and engraving skills shine through in this detailed artwork, showcasing his German heritage and artistic prowess. As we delve into this scene, it becomes evident that it was created for a performance - an opera perhaps - where mythology takes center stage. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly displays this piece as part of its collection, preserving not only Küsel's talent but also the rich history behind Roman mythology. It serves as a reminder of how religion and entertainment intertwined during that era. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate the craftsmanship involved in bringing such elaborate stage sets to life centuries ago. This print invites us to immerse ourselves in a world where gods walked among mortals and ancient ruins held secrets waiting to be discovered.
