EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite piece of art titled "Ms 324 f. 101 v. Orpheus and Eurydice, Cerberus and Pluto". Created by the Netherlandish School in the 15th century, this masterpiece is a part of Metamorphoses 10 by Ovid. The image depicts a mesmerizing scene filled with intense emotions. In the foreground, we witness Orpheus, the legendary musician and poet, playing his enchanting lyre while desperately trying to rescue his beloved Eurydice from the clutches of death. As he skillfully strums his instrument, Cerberus - the three-headed dog guarding Hades' realm - appears to be entranced by Orpheus' melodious tunes. The background reveals Pluto (also known as Hades), ruler of the underworld, observing this extraordinary encounter with keen interest. Illuminated in vibrant colors and intricate details on velum paper, this manuscript exudes an otherworldly aura that transports viewers into a mythical realm. The artist's mastery lies not only in capturing each character's anguish but also in portraying their surroundings engulfed in flames. This symbolic representation emphasizes both Orpheus' determination to save Eurydice and the perilous nature of their journey through hellish realms. Thanks to Bridgeman Images for bringing forth this remarkable artwork from Fine Art Finder's collection. With kind permission from the Earl of Leicester and Trustees of Holkham Estate, we can now appreciate this timeless
