EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the 17th-century opera set design of "Il Fuoco Eterno" by Mathaus Küsel. On the right side of the road, a woman stands gracefully amidst columns that line her path. In the center, a magnificent statue of a female figure catches our attention, with cupid flying nearby as if to add an enchanting touch to this mythical setting. To the left, another woman emerges from ethereal clouds while another sits among flames above her. This intricate stage design showcases Roman mythology and religious themes in a visually stunning manner. The etched details bring depth and texture to every element, highlighting Küsel's artistic talent. The photograph transports us back in time to experience the grandeur and spectacle of 17th-century opera performances. It reminds us of how art has always been intertwined with religion and mythology throughout history. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this image is a testament to Germany's rich cultural heritage. It serves as both an educational tool for understanding historical stage designs and as an awe-inspiring piece of artwork in its own right. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing snapshot captured by Mathaus Küsel, we can't help but be drawn into its mystical world where performers brought stories alive on stage through their exceptional talents and elaborate sets.
