EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases Agostino Carracci's masterpiece, "Orpheus Eurydice ca 1590-95 Engraving 2nd state". The artwork captures a pivotal moment in Greek mythology, depicting the tragic love story of Orpheus and Eurydice. In this dramatic scene, Orpheus stands at the threshold of Hades, having successfully convinced the ruler of the underworld to release his beloved wife. However, there is one condition: he must not look back until they have reached the light of day. With determination etched on his face and love burning in his heart, Orpheus pulls aside his instrument and prepares to lead Eurydice out of darkness. The intense emotions are palpable as you gaze upon this print. The artist skillfully portrays Orpheus' internal struggle between hope and doubt while capturing Eurydice's longing for freedom. As they inch closer to salvation, their fate hangs by a thread. Unfortunately, tragedy strikes once again as Orpheus succumbs to temptation and glances over his shoulder just before reaching safety. In that split second, he loses everything - Eurydice vanishes forever into the depths of Hades. Artokoloro has masterfully reproduced this iconic engraving with exceptional detail and precision. This print serves as a poignant reminder of how even great love can be torn apart by human weakness and our inability to keep promises made in moments of desperation.
