EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Orpheus comforts Eurydice" transports us to a mythical world filled with sorrow and despair. In this poignant scene, we witness the heart-wrenching moment when Eurydice, bitten by a venomous snake, finds solace in the tender embrace of her beloved Orpheus. Eurydice's tear-stained face reflects her pain and anguish as she clings onto Orpheus for comfort. Her bare foot rests gently on his knee while her discarded shoe lies forgotten on the floor, symbolizing the sudden disruption of their harmonious existence. The vulnerability captured in this image is palpable, evoking empathy from anyone who gazes upon it. In the background looms Aristaeus, a fallen giant now sleeping soundly in unconsciousness. This juxtaposition of characters adds an element of contrast to the composition - while Eurydice suffers from her tragic fate, oblivious to everything else around her, Aristaeus represents a dormant force that once posed a threat but has been subdued. Jean Grandjean's masterful etching technique brings depth and texture to every intricate detail within this artwork. The dimensions of 223 mm width by 315 mm height further emphasize its intimate nature and draw our attention closer to the emotional turmoil depicted within. This mesmerizing print from Liszt Collection captures not only an iconic mythological tale but also speaks volumes about human resilience and compassion amidst adversity. It serves as a powerful reminder that even in moments of darkness, love
