EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us to a realm of mythical beauty and ancient legends. The image depicts a woman adorned in an exquisite Chinese costume, gracefully perched atop a majestic dragon. It is believed that this enigmatic figure could be none other than the revered goddess Benten or Hsi Wang Mu, the Chinese goddess of the West. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this 1820 Japanese woodcut by Yashima Gakutei bring life to this mesmerizing scene. The delicate brushstrokes on paper create a sense of movement as the dragon soars through ethereal clouds, carrying its divine passenger with grace and power. Two poems accompany this artwork, their words echoing through time like whispers from another era. They speak of courage, wisdom, and the eternal bond between humans and dragons - creatures deeply rooted in Eastern mythology. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported into a world where gods walk among mortals and magic intertwines with reality. It serves as a reminder of our connection to ancient traditions and our fascination with fantastical beings that have captivated human imagination for centuries. This print not only captures an extraordinary moment frozen in time but also invites us to delve deeper into the rich tapestry of cultural heritage that has shaped our understanding of divinity and mythical realms throughout history.
