EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection depicts a powerful scene from the biblical story of Cain and Abel. In this particular image, we witness the intense moment just before tragedy strikes. Cain, with his bone raised high in his hand, is about to strike Abel, who he has firmly grasped by the hair and forcefully pushed to the ground. Part of a seven-part series illustrating scenes from the book of Genesis, this print showcases Gerard de Lairesse's masterful artistry. Created in 1665 using paper and etching techniques, it measures 222 mm in height and 250 mm in width. The artist presents various interpretations of how Cain slays his brother Abel throughout this series. Whether employing a stone, club, jaw-bone or even a spade as weapons, each depiction captures the brutal nature of this tragic event. As you gaze upon this print, allow yourself to be transported back in time to reflect on the consequences of jealousy and anger that led to such an act. The intensity captured within these lines serves as a reminder for us all to strive for peace and understanding amidst our differences
