"Charmed: A Tapestry of Enchantment and Music" Step into a world where music weaves its magical spell, captivating both man and beast. From the ancient mythological realms to fairy tale castles, the power of charm transcends time and space. Orpheus, with his lyre in hand, strums melodies that resonate through our souls. In Thessaloniki's relief, witness the mesmerizing harmony as Orpheus plays his lyre while creatures gather around him. The enchantment is palpable as Cinderella twirls gracefully with her Prince in a timeless dance of love. Perseus too experiences this ethereal allure when he stumbles upon a charmed tree adorned by dancing figures. In vibrant lithographs and colourful panels, Perseus witnesses this mystical spectacle unfold before his eyes. Orpheus continues to captivate hearts as he stands amidst animals in 1519's tempera on canvas masterpiece. His music tames even the wildest beasts, creating an atmosphere of serenity and unity. But it is not only mythical tales that showcase the power of charm. In an engraving from Ilchester, a wise woman uses her charms to eradicate foot and mouth disease—a testament to the potency of magic beyond folklore. As New Year dawns upon us, let us remember how even a little girl can offer greetings filled with warmth and affection to her grandfather. Love itself possesses its own kind of charm—one that brings joy and connection between generations. The Knight finds himself bewitched by a lady's presence in another lithograph—love at first sight sparked by an irresistible aura surrounding her being. And finally, Orpheus once again graces our imagination as he enchants animals with his melodious tunes on canvas painted before 1720—an enduring symbol of humanity's ability to connect across species boundaries through artistry.
