EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 17th century, immersing us in a city under siege. The intricate set design from Il Pomo D'Oro, created by Mathaus Küsel, showcases a scene filled with elephants and soldiers scattered throughout. As we gaze at this remarkable artwork, our eyes are drawn upwards towards Mars himself, looking down upon the chaos unfolding below. The etched details bring this historical moment to life as we witness the fusion of art and mythology. This German masterpiece captures not only the concept of war but also incorporates elements of religion and Roman mythology. It is evident that Küsel's work was influenced by his deep understanding of heritage art. As we delve into this image further, it becomes apparent that it was originally intended for an opera performance. The stage set exudes grandeur and drama while providing a backdrop for performers to bring stories to life on stage. Preserved within the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance. It allows us to glimpse into a world long gone yet still resonates with its powerful imagery today
