EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Confusion of Tongues" a masterpiece created by Karel van Mander, the Elder in the 1600s. The artwork can be found in the esteemed collection of the Slovak National Gallery in Bratislava. "The Confusion of Tongues" is an allegorical depiction that draws inspiration from various sources such as mythology, literature, and biblical narratives like the Tower of Babel. Van Mander's artistic style reflects mannerism, characterized by its intricate details and exaggerated forms. In this painting, we witness a scene filled with rich symbolism and historical references. The hanging gardens of Semiramis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, provide a lush backdrop to this narrative. Semiramis herself, an Assyrian queen associated with power and beauty, takes center stage amidst a chaotic atmosphere. Van Mander skillfully captures the essence of confusion through his masterful use of oil on canvas technique. This work invites viewers to contemplate themes such as language barriers and miscommunication throughout history. As we delve into this remarkable piece at close range, it becomes evident why it has become an invaluable part of fine art images worldwide. Its ability to transport us back to ancient civilizations like Assyria and Babylonia is truly awe-inspiring.
