EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white pencil print titled "Orpheus" transports us to a mystical realm where nature and music intertwine. Created by the talented artist George Dutch Davidson between 1898-1901, this artwork measures 19.7x22.9 cm and is housed in The McManus museum in Dundee, UK. The image depicts a serene forest scene, with towering pine and spruce trees creating a lush canopy overhead. This primaeval woodland serves as the backdrop for Orpheus, the legendary musician of Greek mythology. Holding his lyre, an ancient stringed instrument, he captivates not only human hearts but also those of wild animals that surround him. In this enchanting composition, we witness various creatures from British wildlife - lions, cows, dogs, sheep, goats - all drawn to Orpheus' melodious tunes. Even snakes slither closer while birds flutter above him in admiration. The rivers and streams meandering through the woodlands add to the tranquility of the setting. As dusk settles over this idyllic countryside landscape, the sun casts its warm glow upon Orpheus and his animal companions. The intricate details captured by Davidson's skilled hand bring forth a sense of charm and wonderment. This mesmerizing piece combines elements of Celtic revival art with influences from arts and crafts movements prevalent during the late 19th century. It celebrates not only mythological heroes like Orpheus but also showcases our deep connection with nature's flora and
