ह्या चित्रात प्लुटोच्या कृष्णलोकातील सर्विरस नाही...Orpheus by Roelandt Savery, G A Kulkarni and Sadanand Rege

 

जी. ए. कुलकर्णी यांचा ऑर्फियस त्याच्या संगीताने अक्राळविक्राळ सर्विरस ला सुद्धा शांत करून पुढे जातो...त्याच्या संगीताचे जीए वर्णन असे करतात:

 

"... ऑर्फियसने उत्कंठेने वाद्य हातात घेतले व स्वर निर्माण करण्यास सुरवात केली... त्यावेळी हातांतील कंकणांचा आवाज करत, आंतरसालीसारख्या कोवळ्या पावलांनी सूर्यप्रकाश सरकवत एक सौन्दर्यवती युवती आली, आणि निर्भर आनंदाने तिने ओंजळभर फुले उचलली..."

(पृष्ठ ५, 'ऑर्फियस', 'पिंगळावेळ', १९७७)

 

 

सदानंद रेगे:

"...

ऑर्फियस

सांभाळ रे बाळा !

मागे वळून पाहिलंस

तर गर्भार सुरांचा

जळून जाईल गाभा...

.... "

('केसरबाई'., ब्रांकुशीचा पक्षी)

 

 

Orpheus by Roelandt Savery, 1628

"Orpheus charms the animals with music in this painting by an artist who was fascinated by nature. Painting at a time when the curiosity of the Renaissance was giving birth to modern science, Savery spent part of his career at the court of the eccentric emperor Rudolf II in Prague, where natural wonders were collected and the astonomers Tycho Brahe and Johannes Kepler employed. His most famous painting today is The Dodo – – one of the few images of this now extinct bird that may record its living appearance. There doesn’t seem to be a dodo in this idyllic, blue-tinged landscape but lions, a pelican, an elephant, swans, deer, cattle, goats and a peacock are among the many creatures drawn together by the sweet music of Orpheus. They are all at peace: a hunting dog seems to want to make friends with a stag.", The Guardian, August 2024
