EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases the iconic artwork titled "Apollo Marsyas Judgment Midas 1581 Engraving" by Melchior Meier, a German artist active in Italy during 1572-82. Inspired by Ovid's mythological tale, this engraving depicts Apollo engaged in two intense musical competitions with Marsyas. In this extraordinary scene, Marsyas boldly boasts about his exceptional flute playing skills, challenging Apollo's status as the god of music. However, Apollo effortlessly proves his superiority and divine talent through his mesmerizing melodies. As a result of his defeat, Marsyas faces a gruesome punishment at the hands of Apollo. The composition skillfully captures the intensity and drama of this legendary event. The intricate details and delicate lines showcase Meier's mastery in engraving techniques. The sizeable sheet measures approximately 9 3/16 x 12 9/16 inches (234 x 319 cm), allowing viewers to immerse themselves fully into this mythical world. This remarkable print serves as a testament to both Meier's artistic prowess and Ovid's enduring narrative. It invites us to reflect on themes such as hubris, competition, and divine retribution while marveling at the beauty and intricacy of Renaissance artistry.
